When someone else mentioned trouble with floppies and FreeBSD I thought to try the floppy on my then 1-week old Asus P6NP5 and had repeatable problems with good media. Jumped into the discussion. And proably ran fdformat 100 times. Flipped most every BIOS setup parameter, to no avail. Then somebody suggested, "Load BIOS Defaults". And all my problems dissappeared. All I can guess is that something was set in the BIOS's BB-ram that reconfigured hardware, but that something isn't reachable thru the provided human interface. Yet it was reset by "Load Defaults". So once again, *I'm* a happy camper. And learned more that I wanted to in the process. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
