[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 1.44 External Drive Problem?

psrccrc@prism.gatech.EDU (Richard Catrambone) (07/03/90)

I just bought a Procom Technology 3.5 inch external
diskette drive for my IBM PS/2 Model 80.  I have
some diskettes that can be read just fine on the
internal A: drive on my IBM, but for some reason I
get the "abort, retry, fail" message when I try to
read them on the external B: drive.  There are other
diskettes that are read just fine by both drives.
Both are high density drives.  In addition, I have
formatted at least one diskette on the B drive and it
is read just fine by both drives.

Any suggestions as to what might be the problem?
