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.
Me neither, didn't even know they existed. over USB, yes, I knew, but never handled one. I suppose it is correctly connected inside. The cable plug has a protuberance impeding inserting inverted, but nevertheless, I have seen them connected inverted: some plugs did not have the notch. And turning continuously was typical of having the cable inverted. I can't think of anything else, and with scssi... no, no idea. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
