I would like to add a 3.5 inch 1.44 MB floppy to my 6300. The machine
already has one 5.25 inch 360K floppy on the internal controller, and
a 20MB hard disk on an everex controller in one of the slots.
A call to the ATT PC Hotline confirmed that the internal floppy controller
could handle the 720K 3.5 inch floppies, but not the 1.44MB variety. The
person I talked to mumbled something about bending up pin 17 of the
floppy controller chip on the motherboard to disable the internal controller
so that I could install a floppy controller board in one of the slots.
Can anyone confirm that this will work? The person I talked to didn't
sound very sure of himself, and I am a little concerned about ripping the
machine apart before I have more information. Thanks.
