I never did do that.
Now, I could put 1.2mb drives on with that, I guess.
Yep
The earliest 1.2M drive that I saw (before the AT) was a Mitsubishi 4854?
I was told that it had had been designed for the explicit purpose of
replacing 8" drives. It did NOT also have a "360K" mode.
I also heard a rumor (probably not true) that "When Microsoft was writing
the DOS and AT BIOS support for 1.2M drives, they thought that IBM had
decided to release a model with 8" drives".
I think that one of Dos'es (MultiDOS I think)
would
boot on both machines as long as the Boot sector was
the correct type. I know one of the Dos'es could do
that.
Hmmm. mixing single density sectors and double density sectors on the same
track?
I REALLY have to find my dream machine... A complete
LNW Model I or Model II (Team) computer...
This'll make your day,...
I had an LNW. (also a Lobo expansion interface, a PMC81, etc.)
Most of that stuff, I sold cheap at VCF (which is run by your buddy
Sellam).
