One of my machines had a Soundblaster 16 in it for a while, and every
so often, during bootup the BIOS would report a floppy drive failure.
I swapped floppy drives, the power supply, even the motherboard trying
to figure out what was wrong, but nothing helped.

Then one day I took out the Soundblaster, and the problem has since
disappeared.  Flakey hardware can produce all sorts of strange
problems via unwanted feedback, undervoltages, overvoltages, etc.
