I have an old Compaq Presario (75MHz Pentium) whose

model # tonight if anyone wants to know.
I count something like 7 common Cromemco formats--and, as Fred notes,
there was tremendous variability among them.
On a P75 system, the FDC has been buried in the entrails of of "Super
I/O" chip or even buried in a corner of a "Southbridge chip", such as
an Intel 82371.
