The machine is a NEC Ready 9012 (P90). The BIOS detects the drive and enters CHS information properly. Windows 95 cannot boot from floppy (freezes after checking HDD) Windows 98 cannot boot from floppy (freezes after checking HDD) Windows NT can be installed from floppy and boot from HDD, using FAT and NTFS partitions (limited to 2 and 4 GB respectively). It doesn't report any driver errors or exhibit drive problems. FreeBSD 3.1 can be installed from floppy and use the entire drive. However, it provides the below information.

Quantum doesn't have any microcode updates for the drives (as far as I can see). -- Matthew Emmerton || P: +1 (800) 217-5409 (Canada) GSI Computer Services || F: +1 (519) 335-6584 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
