- I'm having a weird problem with my floppy drives (Teac 1.2 and 1.44
- (separate drives)). I can read from them just fine. However, whenever I
- try to write to them, the machine crashes, saying "Internal stack
- overflow - System Halting." I assume what's happening is something's
- screwed and the flops are generating a bunch of interrupts which kills
- it. I'm pretty sure it's not the controller card (DTK-227) as I switched
- it out with a friend of mine's and the problem persisted. Any clues?
-
- Thanks.
