Just now did the mergemaster thing. Had already done /dev/MAKEDEV* and recreated the devices. Out of desperation, booted NT4SP3. NT couldn't see the floppy anymore either. Its time for surgery and possibly a trip to the store for a new floppy drive. At least I hope its the drive and not the MB. Mabye a cable fell off as the drive doesn't seek at boot, and that's selected in the BIOS. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
