Good day,
I received a call from my daughter about her 486-66. She said she started
having "problems" running programs last week. Then yesterday upon booting
she received the message on booting "FDD controller failure" and "HDD
controller Failure" "Press F1 to resume". Natch, she can't boot. I assume
that means that the controller card has taken a dump. Am I correct in this
long distance diagnosis? Is this as simple as pulling the old controller
card and plugging in a new one? Well, that and blowing out about ten pounds
of cat hair. I found a SIIG Fast EIDE card
http://www.siig.com/ide/eide_master_isa___io.html at the local Fry's and it
looks like what I need. Am I on the right track? Of course this comes as
grad school mid-terms are due.
Thanks,
Brad Loomis
