Default Re: Another 486 PC keyboard problem

No, the bios default settings are for a 3.5in 1.44mb. The application software only uses drive 'A' so I used 'B' and set 'floppy swap' in the bios. The software then did the same when connected into the B connector (closest IDC connector to the motherboard).

The motherboard sees the floppy, puts the green light on and disc motor when I tell the software to format a disc, but only gives 2 little head motor grunts before waiting then timing out with a floppy fault.

The USB emulator does a similar thing, puts its green light on when disc is accessed but gives an error after so many seconds.
