However, the standard 5¼ drive was still bootable (of course). Using this technique I successfully added a 1.44 drive to an XT clone though in this case the driver supported only one floppy, not the two it was supposed to. For hardware support the author has you mount a 16-bit multi-function card yes, even in an 8-bit slot (which also provides functional com and lpt ports). The distribution archive also contains small drivers that add 1.44 and 1.2 MB drive capability to XTs and earlier ATs. Yet each 2M disk can function as a 2M boot disk: simply boot a computer from a 2M disk and the TSR is automatically loaded. These disks are readable/writable only when the supplied 2mdos TSR program is running you normally can't use these disks on a PC lacking the TSR. 2M can reformat a 1.44MB floppy to either 1.7 or 1.8MB. If you want to squeeze a few more files on your 1.44MB (nominally 2MB) floppies, and save a few pennies in the process, 2M will help.
2M Format floppies to higher capacities.
