(Posting for a friend; please reply to me by mail, as I am not a regular reader of this group; I will summarize useful responses.) I'm running pc-dos 3.3 on a Compaq 8088 portable and I'm using driver.sys to access an external 3 1/2" 720K floppy. This works fine until the first "not ready" error on any drive. I must then use "int 13" to reset the floppy controller and manually read a few sectors from the drive. Two questions: 1. Why? 2. Anyone got a fix? -- Randolph Fritz randolph@sun.com sun!randolph
