This bulletin is intended to provide the results of compatibility testing conducted
by the Computer Product Support Center with the PS/2 Connection Kit B,
PS/2 Adapter Board and the 5.25" 1.2MB external floppy drive from Manzana
Microsystems.
The PS/2 Adapter was found to support the external floppy drive as a 1.2MB
floppy drive in the Equity le. The instructions should be followed as described
on pages 14 and 15 in the PS/2 External Drive Manual, supplied by Manzana.
The only special accommodation necessary is the use of supplied adhesive
anchor pads and cable ties to secure the PS/2 Adapter board to the mounting
bracket for the DB - 37 connector. This procedure is also outlined on page 15
of the PS/2 External Drive Manual.
MS - DOS version 3.0 or higher is required for installation of the PS/2 Adapter
Board and use of the external drive as a 1.2MB floppy disk drive. The Equity
le is shipped with MS - DOS 3.3.
Manzana includes the XDrive disk utilities with their PS/2 Adapter card. These
utilities include a device driver for the external floppy disk drive, a drive letter
query utility and an information utility for use with the external 1.2MB floppy
disk drive.
