I am using an AT clone (VLSI chip set) and have attached a 3.5" floppy drive to it. I use setup to specify this as the A drive and my 5.25" 1.2Meg floppy as the B drive. I boot DOS 4.0 for the 40 meg hard disk. My problem is that I can do a "dir" on a floppy in the 3.5" (720K) drive but when I remove that disk and put in another different disk and do a "dir" the directory of the first disk is read. It is as if I didn't remove the first disk. Any Ideas!? I have swapped the 5.25" and the 3.5" floppies around and the problem still remains on the 3.5" drive. The 5.25" works fine. -- Yarko Matkiwsky 370A Tapscott Rd. Perle Systems Limited Scarborough, Ont. UUCP: ...!uunet!mnetor!perle!yarko Canada M1B 3C4

We had a similar problem where I used to work. There may be a jumper on the drive which needs to be reset. I can't remember which one it is, but, with any luck, it'll be obvious.
