I have a IBM disk manager that is universal - I don't use it much now but 
in the past days gone by I used it with every drive that needed disk 
managering BUT it will not work with Linux (just in case you were wanting 
to use it for that) but i used it on my old notebook to get a bigger disk 
on it. if ya want it give me a hoy I will send it as an image (1.44 floppy)
