No it is none of the above. 1) the floppy drive works fine in any other machine.
2) it does light but then quits 3) checked a/b flip flop, and has a bios function for that too 4) Drive shows in CMOS and correctly 5) No battery on the board 6) ide is hot, like I said it will boot to C drive 7) swapped the ribbon 8) is th MOBO bad? well if it is, I have 2 that are the same "bad" Ok I think I've covered everything. I don't see the prob. Like I said in my first post, there was some mention concerning the write cache needed to be off. I thought I did that also to no availe. Any ideas? Is there a differance between old 1.44 and new ones where they work on AT but not on PCI? PnP conflict? What, it is driving me nuts<g> Have a Goody!
