my new 1200 has pc0? on wb when i insert floppy
« on: January 13, 2012, 09:24:11 AM »
So my new 1200 (everything is new apart from the mobo) has a slight problem with the floppy drive. It reads floppy disks ok and shows up their icons ok, but at the same time shows an icon which says  "pc0??"

Hmm well is this something to do with being able to use pc ms dos disks on my 1200? If so I do not need this feature and so wish this pc0?? Icon vanquished from wb (os 3.9)

Do I need to edit my s:startup to delete any line with pc0 on it?

Ok thanks I have a look at that later tonite. Is it just the icon I move over to storage or are there any associdted files? Or is it a complete drawer to move over?

The reason the icon annoys me is that i tend to keep a blank floppy disk in df0: to stop it from continuously ticking away if its left empty. By putting a blank disk in df0: i get an "empty" on wb (fine ok) and a pc0:?? which seems irrelevant to me... especially as i haven't even got a 3.5" floppy drive on my pc (and haven't for 5 years) so why would i want to transfer data from the pc on floppy when you can use a pcmcia cf card??

Why indeed.  But then again, why put a floppy disk in the drive when you could just use this:

hmm this didn't work but it was worth trying :)

(I copied into wbstartup)
