    Floppy Drive 3,5" problem
    « on: October 01, 2015, 11:34:19 PM »
    Hello,

    i got a prob with a MS Dos machine. POST is running without Errors. Dos is starting from harddisk. If i push in a floppy into the drive and Change to a: or b:, i get an error message "General failure reading drive A"... The disks were formatted on another machine working win7. Several disks were tested..formatted overwrite...allways the same result. Next step was to Change the floppy drive on the dos machine....same result. It seems to me that the Controller on the Mainboard is broken, or cluld it be that disks formatted with win 7 not readable on a pure dos machine...is working with MS Dos 6.22

    Regards

    Ralf
    P.S.  replies please in simple english i am german....thanks
