I grabbed a floppy drive from an old machine, and to my amazement, it has some kind of proprietary connector...it seems to have 2 less pins than the floppy drive connector on my Athlon 2000+

amazing...well thats about as much effort as I'm putting into it.  Thanks for the help, but I'm done.

I think the aros team has done wonderful work, and of course I found it interesting, but I don't spend hour after hour not being productive trying to track down problems with alpha software....its just not my thing.

Keep up the good work, can't wait to hear about a tcp/ip stack and other advancements I am sure are coming.

You don't actually need a really Floppy drive, just make sure the Floppy drive is switched on in the BIOS :-)

The trackdisk.device looks for the presence of the Floppy Drive controler rather than an actual drive.
