Subject: 8" floppy drive probles

I agree that there's no reason to throw away your 8 inchers if
you're pleased with your system. But there are disadvantages.
The 1.2 meg storage can now be obtained from either 5" or
3.5 inch drives. In the case of the HD 5", I believe this
could be done with no reworking of the BIOS, since you would
use the 8 inch controller data rate to the 5" drive.
