You've really got me thinking about the cable Jeff... I don't have access
to the machine right now. Wish I did! Later today we'll fiddle with the
cable and also try booting from a CD and copying something large from it to
the floppy.
Meanwhile, can you/someone tell me, does that floppy connect directly to the
riser card? Or does it daisy through the internal CD-Rom drive and then to
the card? The CD-Rom is scsi same as the floppy??? If so, is it possible
the cd-rom could in some way be at fault?
Mike.
