Title: floppy drive connected ?
Post by: lyricalbenjie on December 18, 2003, 03:30:45 PM

if i can see my floppy drive 0: in the boot menu, does this mean that it's properly connected ? I am using this floppy drive inside the mirage 1200 tower + mediator. It could be that the floppy drive cable is broken as i look at it, but if this was so then it shouldn't show in the boot nenu would it ?

Thanx,,

Nope, DF0: is allways regognized on HW-level, cos the flip-flop for it
is on the mobe
(instead of external ones which have it in their case).

A missing drive should be detected either as bad disk, or a permant
"busy" drive.
