The PC Deluxe Option board sometimes has problems unless the floppy disk drive
controller cables are shortened. Usually the drive has random read/write
problems. Shortening the cable always seemed to cure the problem. This card
only works with certian brands and models of disk drives. I would reccommend
contacting tha manufacturer of the PC Deluxe Option board for a list of
compatable drives.
