- I have an old COMPAQ Deskpro 286 that has been dumped in my lap, and I need
- to get it working with a 1.44MB floppy drive. Unfortunately the old SETUP
- utility that came with the computer won't let me set this by hand. It
- autodetects the 3.5" drive which is plugged in as A: as a 1.2MB drive. Does
- a more recent SETUP program which can detect a 1.44MB drive exist? Any other
- ideas?
-
- Thanks,
- Loren
