I don't know about THAT particular 2.88 drive but some PCs support 2.88
drives. Somewhere I have a couple of add-in FD controllers that have their
own BIOS and they support the 2.88. And I've seen a 2.88 setting on a
couple of motherboard BIOSs.
I think that it would be hard to find disks for the 2.88 unless you want
to buy them new. The disks are marked ED or EHD IIRC. I've been looking for
them in the surplus/scrap places but only found ONE in 2 years.
