Aptiva - 2.88MB floppy disk drive does work

Applicable to: World-Wide

Problem:
The BIOS only recognizes the floppy drive as 1.44 MB however, the Aptiva Guide indicated that 2.88MB Disk drives were supported.

Answer:
No 2.88 MB Floppy Disk Drives are not supported. Some customers have been led to believe this because the Aptiva Guide states that they are. The Aptiva Guide will not read as such in the future.
