- I want to add some more information. I tried to boot it on the PC I'm
- thinking no buying, and it does the same thing: floppy chatters, then the
- system reboots. Keeps doing this (someone else just posted the same
- symptoms). I tried booting from both the 5.25 and 3.5 drives (recabling to
- the A drive).
-
- The CPU is an Intel 486/DX, ETEQ chips, IDE disk, ISA bus. I disabled both
- the internal and external caches (both didn't try one or the other alone).
- I dont know the manufacturer of the motherboard.
-
- writeraw complains as above when writing to a 5.25, but not to a 3.5 drive.
-
- THanks for your help.
