Dream Machine

[rich ruscio]

I need to verify, while awake, that the BIOS sees the floppy drive, and that it is enabled (I certainly enabled it, don't recall if I saw it in the POST screen).

I have at least 2 machines with floppy drives at home, and I'll make certain the disks can be read.

I have 3 floppy drives in my house that aren't in service. I intend to try them all.

I have at least 4 floppy drive cables, that are either new or have worked in the past, and I'll try all of them, across all of the drives, too.

Here's my list of "what the problem is" might be: bad drive, bad cable, upside down / twisted cable, bad floppy media, gremlins ...

That's all I can think of. I'll be home in a few hours, and will start to shoot at trouble.

Thank you for the help, and if you think of anything else, please pass it along.
