- Okey dokey I have a 286bb with 386 atop and have no access to drive a or
- b. I have tried different drives. the computer recognizes these drives
- but everytime I try to access one of them. I get "Drive not ready error".
-
- On the BB I have changed the disk drive switch (at or ps2) back and forth
- and still to no avail am i able to access IBM A: or B: drive.
- Anyone have any technical information on the bb. I noticed also that
- there is a switch for an external floppy controller but I tried switching
- that as well. I pretty much assume my floppy controller chip on the bb
- is toast but what I need to know, is which chip is it that I need to
- replace? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
- thanx,
- Lazaro Lujan
