[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Weird Floppy Problems

sbradley@iwarp.intel.com (Seth Bradley) (02/06/91)

I have been experiencing a very strange problem with floppy drives.
I have a Samsung S-286 with Award bios and a Western Digital disk
controller.  I have two floppy drives, a 360 and a 1.2, though I
only have one mounted in the system.  Lately, when I have the 1.2
mounted and I read a floppy's directory (under DOS) the first directory
listing is fine, but all subsequent directory reads of different
floppies are the same as the first!  The only way to read a different
floppy is to reboot.  The 360 drive works normally.  Does this sound
like a controller or drive problem?  Please e-mail, and thanks in advance!
