I don't think a 2nd drive can be added, at least to the 7300. I do
notice that there is a flag in the header (gotten with iv) which states
"singledensity". I reformatted a disk with that parameter missing and it
bombed. Would it work with a 1200k drive. Can I use an 80 track drive if
I am willing to sacrifice portability? Can I add a switch somewhere?

I'm backing up 40+ MB to floppy, and any help would be a big help.
