For a 720K drive, there is no need to disable the existing controller.
I have had a 720K drive my system (as drive B:) for some time with no
problems.  All that is necessary is to plug it in and set the appropriate
parameters in CONFIG.SYS with DRIVPARM.  This requires DOS 3.2 or
later.  Also, there was a bug in DOS 3.3 that kept DRIVPARM from working
properly: you must either use DOS 3.30A, or use one of the patches that
have been posted to the net.

As far as I know, any standard 5.25 inch or 3.5 inch 720K drive should
work.  Note also that none of these comments apply to the 1.2 MB or 1.44
MB disks which can not be used with the 6300's native controller.
