I've got one and it works fine on both 755C and 755CX, even Linux knows what it is. I think it's driven by the BIOS so you shouldn't need anything extra.

Amongst the Floppy Drives I recently purchased, (FRU 29H9230 and 84G2269 of which I have some left if anyone interested)
was a 2.88Mb drive...!

It functions very well in 1.44 / 720Kb format but are any additional drivers needed to get at the 2.88Mb format? The TPAD features/Sys info sees it as a 2.88, so is it a question of finding the 2.88Mb HDDs??

These 2.88Mb drives are quite a rarity aren't they?

Cheers
