Hello Everyone!
I hope you are doing well.

I've got lastly 286 computer with regular super I/O controller (2xCOM, LPT, Game 2xHDC 1xFDC) but with 3 floppy drives - 2 of them 5,25, and one 3,5".
Computer has been modified with adding power switch to choose delivering power between 3,5" and 5,25" drive, but the drives have been modified as well.
Maybe someone has a clue what was it for?
