Works fine for me. Scared me the 1st time it happened. I was doing an install, had just reset the computer and waiting for the install diskette to be read. Suddenly, I am getting messages about a: being reassigned to cdrom and floppy A: being reassigned to b:,; all too fast to be properly read. Then, to add to my confusion, I found myself in the install program. I took the floppy out and tried again. Worked perfectly. I have an: ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:13 on an Intel Tuscon board. Sorry I can't complain...
