5 1/4" floppy on 4122

You're using a cable with a twist ?! - sheesh - that's gotta be 20+ years old. Borrow a floppy cable from another Pc for 10 minutes and : check the jumper on the drive ( master/slave- is there one on there ??) and use the borrwoed( known good) cable - can you see drive now ? Can't switch cables, Bob; ones with 17-pin connectors are hard to come by. I'd thrown all of mine out. This one was mailed to me by a friend from another newsgroup. I found a jumper block on the bottom of the TEAC 5.25" drive, with the jumper on DS1. I tried booting with no jumper, DS0, and DS2, and they all resulted in no floppy drive at all being installed. Only DS1 shows one as existing, and it shows up as a 1.44M 3.5". -- --John Registered Linux User #291592 Klikit Linux 0.1-8 (beta)
