# 3.2 Meg Disk Drives

We’ve located two suppliers in North America selling these drives. They are advertised as 2.8 or 2.88 meg drives, as this is all the PC will format to. Don’t buy a special controller, the Gold Card does not require it, the PC does. It is a straight forward hookup, using the same cable you presently use. Boy, it is strange formatting a disk to 6400 sectors.
