Could someone with a similar setup double check this to see what I've got wrong? I've got a 2286 BB with the ATOP 386sx, and I just installed a TEAC "Combo Drive" – 5.25" & 3.5" in the same drive (model FD-505-000-U). I'm using the end ("A") connector from the BB, and have set the 3.5" drive as drive A (settings DS1=3.5, MON3=ON), and the 5.25" as drive B (settings DS2=5.25, MON2=ON). I've run setup to tell it that the first floppy is 1.44 Mb and the second floppy is 1.2 Mb. NO PROBLEMS with the 3.5" drive, but NOTHING DOING with the 5.25". When I boot I can hear the usual clunk-whirr (or however you describe it) when the drives are accessed (for both), but get a drive not ready when I try to format or the old abort, retry, fail, when switching to the B: drive. Any suggestions as to what I've messed up? I'll call the dealer's tech support in the morning, but …. plus the system is at home and I'll call from work… Thanks, Mike
