And, also, would this have a floppy controller on
it that was capable
of reading and writing disks from systems like the TRS-80 with an SD
boot track?
Almost certainly no, if it has the external floppy connector (37-pin
D-SUB). There were third party controllers that will.
This is true for the trs 80 model 1, but for the model III and 4, there was
software then to allow a person to make disks and transfer files to and
from the IBM XT with IBM disk drive controller and a std TRS 80 3/4
controller. PC Cross Zap for example.
