- We have some XTs around the office, connected to a network. They
- only have one 5.25" drive each.
-
- The machines that we do have with dual drives have one 3.5" and
- one 5.25", and not because it's convenient but because it's
- _required_ to convert from one disk format to another. Which is a
- pain, but that's PCs for you. It is also complicated by the fact
- that both size drives have different size formats, 360KB vs 720KB
- vs 1.4MB vs 2.xMB, so one can't just use old drives.
