[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 1.44 Install

michael.robert@f3.n369.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Michael Robert) (02/23/89)

I can't get a 1.44 meg drive to work at 1.44 meg on an AT compatible 
even with the use of driver.sys. WD (ctrlr mfgr) is of no help as to 
whether the problem might be with theirWD1003-WA2 not being hardware 
compatible with the drive. Also, is it necessary that the BIOS support 
that drive type? The built-in-ROM config doesn't specifically specify 
1.44 meg drives. This sytem has worked for a while very nicely with 
a 720K drive, however.
 
Any ideas??
