- The onboard controller is NOT capable of handling a 1.44 Meg floppy,
- you'll need a separate controller card (luckily any of the multi-function
- cards SHOULD work). As to configuring it, there should be a section in
- the 2088 manual on how to disable the on-board controller, but I can't
- point to it at the moment (sold my 2088 years ago).
