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?

Install the drive and start using it. Might need a cable adaptor depending on
how old the 3.5 drive is. With a modern version of DOS, it will either work
outright or you might need a DRIVEPARM statement to let DOS know it's a 720k.
