Hello, completed lately my DOS machine with additional 1.2 MB 5,25" FDD for occasional use of my old diskettes. So I have 3,5" FDD as drive A: and 5,25" FDD as drive B: now.
But there is a problem: I can only access the drive A: - never both drives on a whim. So to access 5,25" drive I have to "swap drives" in BIOS setup first, and only then I can read that bigger diskette. Every access attempt to diskette in actual drive B: - regardless whichever drive I selected as B: at the moment, that bigger or smaller one - results in "General failure reading drive B". So (momentary) drive A: = always OK, drive B: = always "general failure". Anyone met such strange problem and perhaps knows the solution? 5,25" floppy is a Chinon FR-506, verified its jumper settings, seems OK. Tried to play with these jumpers anyway, no desired effect -- regards, Zbigniew _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
