   Sorry, no, I meant a 3.5" floppy drive.  As soon as Allison replied I 
realized the question was ambiguous.

   I've found something intersting about the Compaq m/b that hosts my 
1.2MB 5.25" disk drive, though.

   That board auto-detects all its hardware on every boot.  If I boot 
with a DSQD disk in that drive, the BIOS auto-updates the settings to 
'3.5" 1.44MB Drive".

   Which is what prompted my question in the first place.
