Hi all
I have a small problem I hope someone out there will be able to help me
with. I have an old 486 DX2 66 that I wanted to connect in a peer to peer
home network. It has 2 floppy drives (A-3 1/2 1.44 Meg and B-5 1/4 1.2
Meg). After I installed an ISA D-Link NIC, the computer booted up and went
through the POST, checked drive A and stalled on drive B. The light on the
B drive remained lit and but the computer does not continue. I thought
something was loose so I made sure everything was well seated and rebooted
again. This time I had a CMOS error telling me I had no floppies. I re-did
the CMOS and now am back to my original problem. I have since changed the A
drive, same problem, I changed the I/O card, same problem, and I changed the
ribbon but still no improvement. I then disconnected the B drive but now
the computer hangs on the A drive with the light remaining on and the
computer just hanging there. When I reconnected the B drive, the POST went
through the A drive without any problem and hung on the B drive again. I've
changed the slot position of the I/O card but to no avail. Any ideas out
there what I might do to solve the problem (short of shooting it)?
TIA
Andy
