use a power cable splitter to get the proper power plug, then a flat cable,
with IDC connector instead the edge connector. I believe you could use a
3.5'' 1.44 drive right away (I did with a very very very old PC compatible).
I think it should be better to have the 3.5'' as a second device.
I have just received an original IBM PC; actually, 2
of them (one had to be parted out). I still haven't
checked the BIOS date, but the machine does have an
origianl Intel 8088 and the power supply appears to be
the original design. Here is the crux of the
problem...
I want to refit the machine with a 720 KB 3 1/2"
drive. This was a fairly easy mod that we used to
perform on XT's, but it seems to have problems finding
the drive. Anybody out there have any experience with
this?
