- OK, I want to "upgrade" from a slow XT BB to a ... less slow AT BB.
-
- Will the Commodore 1010 external 3.5" disk drive work OK by just
- plugging it right into the AT BB, like it does on the XT BB? Seems
- like I've heard somewhere that there might be a problem with density
- incompatibilities here, since the 1010 is not a HD drive.
-
- I know that AT is capable of writing and reading HD floppies, but can
- you simply define a standard density drive for it? (in particular,
- the one that plugs into the back!!)
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Scott
