"What I want to do is use a modern 2.5" IDE drive in a
legacy
machine."
How modern? What machine? XT or AT class?
"the problems I am likely to face are
related to the sizes of the drives..."
Won't *any* drive work, but only to the point that
the BIOS supports it's size?
"It looks like the 8/16 bit issue could be a killer --
but I
*think* that won't be in this case..."
Why? Please enlighten me.
