[comp.sys.ibm.pc] External 5 1/4 " Diskette Drive

LISAS@pucc.Princeton.EDU (Lisa Lewis) (02/03/88)

I have been trying to get an external drive to work on my model 50.  For
some mysterious reason, I can't get it to work.  I tested the drive on
someone else's machine and since it worked, I assumed it was a bad
adapter card and I got a new one.  I'm now on my third card, but still
the computer won't recognize that the slot isn't empty (all slots have
been tried.)  IBM says they'br seen the problem, but don't
really know how it's been solved by others.  They suggest I get a copy
of version 1.02 of their Reference Diskette and try re-configuring it
with that.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  How do I solve it?
Thanks.
