I"m especially interested in hardware compatabiltiy because eventually I want to get UN*X in my IBM system and I understand that the reads and writes to hard disk with an operating system other than MS-DOS can be a problem if you don't have a truly compatable hard drive controller board. I know that the Great Lakes system uses the Xebec controller board if that is any help. Also, I heard that the hard drive controller board on the IBM-XT has a floppy contoller on the same board, is this true ? Thanks in advance Roy T. Bradstrum ihuxi!rtb
