Message-ID: <Af7rAaf0BwwOE5XmFu@transarc.com> Date: 4 Dec 92 05:03:02 GMT Article-I.D.: transarc.Af7rAaf0BwwOE5XmFu References: <1992Dec4.111219.21985@ulrik.uio.no> Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 21 In-Reply-To: <1992Dec4.111219.21985@ulrik.uio.no> tore@gregers.nr.no (Tore Solvar Karlsen) says: 1. After unpacking and mounting the scsicard directly into the PC my floppy drive A are unusable. Moving the floppy cable over to the scsi-card gives no change. The scsi-card has default settings. The symptoms are (from DOS): Are both cards/controllers ( 1542b & origional floppy controller ) in the PC at the same time? If they are, is one disabled ( jumpers etc ) when you are trying to use the other? I would expect two active floppy controllers in one PC to cause all sorts of problems... -- Guyd guyd@hoskyns.co.uk or todays return address!
