I just recently purchased an AST 286 model 140 and just last night I got the message Diskette Subsystem Reset Failure. This happened when I powered the system off from my powerstrip/surge surpressor, and waited for the Hard Drive to stop spinning and park itself, and then powered it back up. I don't think that I ever did this before, I always before had used the Reset button to reboot the computer. So I left the computer off for a few minutes and then tried it again, and then it worked correctly. So I didn't think to much about it. But then later I did the same thing as above and got the Diskette Subsystem Reset Failure but when i left the computer off for a few minutes.... It worked great again. Is this normal or is there something slightly wrong with my computer. Thanx in Advance leon P.S. I currently am using Dos 3.2 that was supplied with my system
