That cured the problem. When devices are this cheap it shouldn't be surprising this is my 3rd hardly-used floppy drive in 4 years. The hardly-used 4x Sony ATAPI CDROM still works. Its audio quality thru the headphone jack is poor, but always has been. Put a 300W PS in when I upgraded the MB to a PPro. Case is stuffed. Has 4 fans (CPU, PS, extra on the case, extra flopping inside directed at my HD.) Am pleased the case screws haven't stripped. The screw holes have stripped on a system I bought in 1992. *That* system is on its 2nd 3.5" floppy, 2nd MB, and 2nd PS, all due to failures. Its 5-1/4 floppy is doing fine. -- 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. -- 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.
