I also have a floppy problem with 4.1 Release on my box.
Here i can read write on formatted floppies, but fdformat does not work.
The floppy drive is good since it works OK under Win and Linux.
I have looked at the code for the floppy controller but it's spaghetti code.
In particular some delays are implemented through for loops, perhaps the
machine is too fast for the drive. Don't know. I have already posted that
but have received no feedback.
