    Can one change a 3" drive to a 3.5" drive on the PCW 9256?

    9256? That came with 3.5" drive... I'm not even sure if 3" drives worked on the 9256.

    That depended on the disks - you could get a 360k or 720k 3" disk, or you could get a 720k or 1.44mb 3.5" - it all depended if they were single or double sided.
