This is actually a side-note to the topic, since I have no idea what
the controller chip is, but...
I have an old Compaq Presario (75MHz Pentium) whose on-board FDC at
least reads Cromemco diskettes without problems and writes readable,
bootable diskettes for a Kaypro 2 with factory ROMs. I can look up the
model # tonight if anyone wants to know.
