Re: Strange floppies (PC)
In view of the myriad questions concerning oddly acting floppies, here
is the source code for a program written in GWBASIC/BASICA language
(to be virus-free) that will tell you what the CMOS thinks your floppy
disk configuration is. This has been through an extensive V&V program
(five minutes - I had to change the CMOS setup each time & reboot) on
1) a clone 386 with AMI Bios and
2) a Zenith AT with the Zenith 386 kit
It may even work on something else (usual disclaimers apply). I am sure
that a neat little .COM could be developed but Ken can post this.
Good luck - Padgett
