i have a dell optiplex gx280.
first i found it doesn't support 2 floppys, only 1. fine.
now, however, 1.44 mb diskettes format fine with ms-dos 6.22,
but freedos trying to format them says:
"""
# Boot sector unreadable, disk not yet formatted
Treating int 13.8 drive type 0x0 as 1440k
Using drive default 1440k ( Cyl=80 Head=2 Sec=18 )
Cannot find existing format - forcing full format
Please enter volume label (max. 11 chars):
Full Formatting (wiping all data)
Format_Floppy_Cylinder ( head=0 cylinder=0 ) sectors=18 [int 13.5]
Critical error during INT disk access
INT 13 status (hex): 40
Bits: seek operation failed
Description: seek failed
Program Terminated
[Error 192]
"""
Does anyone know how to make FreeDOS format floppies on this?
Again, MS-DOS does just fine, but FreeDOS forces the 13 messages above.
then quits!
this is a user and a development question.
If any one can shed light on it it'd be nice.
