My new golem 3.5" drive mounts itself as df1: AND df3: on my A500 then when I insert a disk it says error validating etc, use diskdoctor etc. then when I do info df1: is validating, df3: is ok, and when the disk is removed the machine crashes, so what's wrong ??!?!? Thanx in advance.

Hmmm... I would check the mountlist first. On your boot disk, check unit number under df3:. It should be 3, not 1. I had a similar problem a while back, and that's all it turned out to be. As for a hardware problem, I really have no clue what would cause that... :( Hope you can get it working soon. Bob | ///| a.k.a.

I don't know anything about "golem" drives, but as far as floppy hardware goes, it sounds like the drive is confused about what select lines it should be looking at.
