- I recently aquired a used Toshiba 1.2M 5 1/4" floppy that I would
- like to install in my pc. I have been trying to install it as the a:
- drive. The system boots fine with the drive installed. When I chnage to
- the a drive it spins up and comes back with a Not Ready error. I previously
- had a Qume 360k drive as a: and it worked fine.
-
- The system I'm running:
- 286 clone (1989 AMI bios)
- 1.44M floppy as b:
- ST-225 Hard drive (20M seagate MFM)
-
- Hopefully its just a jumper configuration problem, I don't have any
- documentation for this drive. Thanks in advance.
