Smith >dwsmith@llnl.gov David, In a technical sense, what you need is a floppy controller that can transfer data at 500kbs (vs 250 which is what you now have). Such a controller is the CompatiCard from Micro Solutions in Dekalb Ill., or a Bridge File controller made by Sysgen. You will have to add this controller as a second floppy controller, so you'll need an extra open slot. You can buy a package from both Micro Solutions and Sysgen that has the controller and a properly matched floppy drive. These are available as internal or external units. Call Henry Fale at Quickdata (414) 452-4172. He can tell you exactly what will and will not work, and can sell you a good product. His prices are excellent (try comparing his to what you see in Computer Shopper or other mags). I've used both. Each is a good product. Micro Solutions technical support is much better. If you've got other questions, I'd be happy to try to help. -Peter +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Peter W.
