Hello all
Did have plenty of problems with installing W98se and W XP.
Mostly USB mouse and joystick problems.
Computer is dual boot.
All are solved.

One problem left.
I have a 1.4 stiffy drive as A drive and a 1.2 floppy as B drive.

Swapping around or different cable does not help.
Bios is AMI Version 1201 with date 23-11-06.
Only one drive will work on the end of the cable, thus the A drive.
Can set it as 1.4 or 1.2 but only the A is recognised by the mother board.

Anyone know how to get both drives working ?
Thank you very much
Bert

I can't believe someone still actually has a 5.25" 1.2mb FDD. I last
saw one of them on my commodore 64 in the earlier 90's :)

Having said that...I do have a 3.5" fdd in this box....but dont
actually own any disks to put in it. I got it thinking I would need
it for bios updates...but you can use usb devices now.
