cac@iear.arts.rpi.edu (Christopher A. Cox) (12/03/90)
I have this monstrous old PC6300 which has been a solid,
faithful workhorse for a while, but I was trying to add an external 3.5"
floppy drive. The controller for the external drive and the connections
are pretty straight forward, but no matter what I do I can't get it to
recognize ANY drives when I install this thing. The configuration is as
follows:
Original floppy cable goes to new card; new card is powered by a
split off the power supply; another floppy controller cable goes to the
floppy drive. I am set up with one floppy, which is how I had the
motherboard switch settings as well. The question is can anyone tell me
if there are some quirks I may have overlooked? Should I set the
switches on the motherboard to some unlikely setting (like 4 floppies)?
Any info would be appreciated. I've got to the end of my string
on this one....
