Hi Arkady,
I am experiencing a strange problem with FreeDOS, please help me because I am not sure how it is happening:
K6-2 500, motherboard PcChips (SiS530) this machine works ok with Windows, Dos7.10 and Linux. Floppy drive is new.
Kernel 3035.
When I boot from C:, sometimes (very frequently) when I access floppy disk A: I get a message device not ready. I seems to be worse when I read 2 floppies sequentianly using a BATCH file that asks for the user two swap disks and pauses. Second floppy says not ready, after a few retries it starts working, but stops again but accepts retry. Every time the floppy drive led does light, I checked. If I copy the same files manualy (with copy a:*) it works.
The floppy is ok, I tested with scandisk on another machine. If I boot from floppy it seems to go ok.
I really did not understand what happens. My gess is that the floppy swap was not detected, but this is not 100% coherent...
please help (anyone), Alain
