Prepare to stand corrected. (:

My primary PC uses an EISA/PCI dual pentium motherboard, OEMed by
Micronics for IBM. The Micronics part number was M55Pe; the board has an
IBM FRU number and even has a nifty full screen 640x400x16 VGA splash
screen at bootup (right after the video card splash) that says "IBM PC
Server".

Nice board. A bit dated, now, but nice all the same.

This is all well and dandy but wildly off topic so I'll ask what I'd need
to install a floppy disk drive into my currently diskless TRS-80 Model
III? I was four when my dad got his new (with 48k and a disk drive) and 11
when he sold it and about 14 before I really got into computers beyond
simply being able to drive them and 20 when I picked up a 16k diskless
model III at a thrift shop in Walla Walla and I'll just end this run-on
sentence here. Suffice to say I have no idea what I'll need. I looked
inside my model III and can't even figure how the goofy things mounted, as
there seems to be no drive cage.

ok
