Subject: Re: [LIB] Lib 50 PC floppy card on Dell C610?

From: "Lou S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

It does work as expected on Win2K, just plug and play. But so far the plug 'n play is a no go for Win 95 hence the question about drivers. It simply doesn't recognize that the floppy PC card is being placed in the slot, no beeps, no new hardware Windows popup, nada. Never used a PC card for anything but the 50CT so I have little knowledge of them.

As soon as I plug the PC card floppy into the 50CT running Win95 it recognizes the card. I can place drivers on the C610, just asking which ones I can experiment with to get the Dell to recognize the Toshiba PC card floppy. Any ideas on how to get it to work? - Louis

Have you tried going to the Toshiba Support website, downloading the packages with the FDD drivers, and seeing if the Dell will accept them? Here's the URL for Toshiba Support USA:

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp

The Win95 FDD drivers for the L50 are in the System Controls package l50utils.exe, l70utils.exe for the L70, 1100ctrl.exe for the L100, l110ct19.exe

I hope I have those file name correct.

It seems the FDD driver is the same in all of them: FDCMON.VXD Running file comparison software on that file in each package I have archived shows them all to match.

So if you put that file on the Dell's hard drive, then insert the FDD PC card, Windows should pop up a window looking for the FDD driver. Point it to FDCMON.VXD and see if it takes it.

I don't know what happened to all the W98 System Controls packages for the Libbys on the USA Toshiba website. But copies of FDCMON.VXD I have archived and earmarked as being in W98 packages match the ones I have as being part of W95 drivers.
