- Sure it's possible, i installed one in my brother's xt.
-
- as for the jumpers and switeches... i've no clue... i installed
- the card (w/ the proper 1.2 Meg. settings) and that was it. i
- didn't even mess w/ the settings on the drive.
-
- i remember (vaguely) running into a similiar problem as yours
- though, when i installed the drive. i think in my case, i was
- using a dos version which was too old, so you might want to
- check yours out. i believe i was using ver 3.1 (i lost track
- of what version has what after i got my 486 and started using
- os/2), and i think when i switched to ver 3.2 (from my epson
- notebook which died after just 1.5 yrs of usage... :( it read
- all the 1.2 disks beautifully. (i've tried to use ver 5.0
- many times, but it refuses to recognize the full capacity
- of my old HD, and it used up too much mem anyways...)
