Subject: FDDs
Some of the communicants have noted that MSI (and perhaps others) claims
that its FDD port will support only _one_ FDD. It is hard to understand
why they would disable one of the drives. Is it common understanding that
a M/B mfg would provide a FDD port but disable one drive.
First, go into Setup and see if more than one floppy drive is listed. One of
my services is to install floppy drives on Dell's etc. where the floppy
drive was omitted. I do not remember seeing but one floppy drive port
listed. The status of the port (choice of which type of floppy drive is
attached to that port or "none") does not matter as that can be set as you
desire. What does matter is if you have one port to make the choice for or
two ports to make the choice for. If you do not have two ports showing I see
no way you will be able to run two floppy drives.
