You might want to try adjusting the bus on/off time for the controller to see if it will work better. You might also want to run the controllers built in DMA test (in the BIOS at some oddball address) although I can't remember if the DMA speed affected the floppy or not. Maybe someone else on the group can elaborate? ====================================== When philosophy conflicts with reality, choose reality.
