Thanks for everybody's suggestions! It's great to finally get some input on this. Ok, maybe it would simplify things if I tell what I have tried... I have tried: 1. Different DOSEMU versions, v1.2 through v1.4 (+beta) - with different DOS version mentioned in point 2. 2. Different DOS systems,

Hi, Flox did some testing and found out that the stick boots as A: drive with 30*255*63 geometry (235 MB), type 0x10 (ATAPI) without disk change check. Because of the latter, LBACACHE does not cache that floppy, but I can change the cache to accept diskettes without change check if they are of
