- I am using a 1542B. My floppies are running from a cheap IDE+IO
- adapter, and the 1542B floppy port is disabled.
- I am not using any patches, at the moment. I did just have a
- trap 0000, system stopped error, I don't think the Adaptec is
- implicated. I have the DMA speed set to 5.7 MB/sec.

-
- Yes. You might have to change the reference in the driver to the
- brand of drive you are running.
