I am running an A1200 With excellerator at 30mhz with 40mhz fpu, 32 megs of fast ram.  I have a CF card running 3.9 and all the boing bags.  I have an exteranl floppy drive. When I was laoding DPaint V the Install aborted after it ask me to insert the next disk, it said the disk was not loaded. So what I had to do was to swap out the next disk before it was called for. So it would be loaded when the software looked for it.  This was not the only program I had this issue with.  Lucklely I had two floppy drives so I could do this.  Anyone else seen this?
Thanks
Brad

Remove the external floppy and see if it works with just 1 drive. if so it may be a power supply issue.. of course bad caps play a role in so much also.
As mike said, probably a case of bad disks etc.

Could be a G-Force Issue if you have one. Anything beyond the limit is ignored.

I have one in my A2000 with max 16Mb, Must remove 4Mb to make all stuff work. Graphics  and audio cards won't work correctly and many errors.


That makes no sense, Unless:

You are mapping fast ram into zorro2 space that other cards need,in which case this is terrible use of a accelerator and slows everything down and causes the problems you mentioned. set the jumpers to map the ram as 32 bit.

or you have some bad ram that is causing troubles,but i would bet on the above being the trouble.

in anycase this is not a normal thing for a gforce in the a2000.
