[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Problem with 3.5" floppy drive in drive 1

mike@cs.keele.ac.uk (Michael A. Green) (03/09/89)

I have just installed a 3.5" floppy drive as drive 1 on my AT clone (Beltron)

I also have a 1.2MB floppy in drive 0, a 20MB and a 40 MB hard disk.

The Problem: It works ok both as 720KB and 1.44MB for a while, then
	     I get    
			Divide Overflow

	     and I have to reboot the computer before I can use the drive.

	     I also use my system with Uport System V/AT. The drive works
	     with that for a while, but soon I get "Channel number out of
	     range" on which ever drive is not mounted. This is basically
	     the same problem I think

	     The controller card is a WD1003-WA2, with no previous problems.

If anyone has any ideas could they please e-mail me at one of the addresses
in my signature NOT by the return path of this posting ... I get enough
hassle here about the cost of UUCP traffic as it is :-( and the Internet
gateway through nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk is free :-)).

Thanks for any help.
