Hello group,

I have on several machines this problem: they are continously trying to=20 access the floppy drives. Two drives already defective, due to the=20 mechanic stress.

Try reversing the cable to the drive (pin 1 at the wrong side). At least that's what happened to mine... Now it apparently works.

The mainboard does not have a floppy controller, so I use an SCSI floppy drive, it is working with a floppy disk inserted.

A SCSI floppy-drive? Wow, I don't remember ever seeing one of those. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
