A recent posting to comp.sys.tandy showed how to attach an AT-style floppy to
the 8" floppy controller on a RS 6000 under XENIX.  Is it possible and has
anyone done the reverse - attaching a Tandon 848-2 to an AT style controller?

(I need to move files from RS 6000 format to XENIX 386, and having an 8"
drive attached to a 386 XENIX box would make it unnecessary to keep a 6000
in the closet for disk accesses).
