Hello....

I seem tro have a problem with my st.   I was using it last night
and all of a sudden I could no longer access the floppy drives...
So I shut it off and tried rebooting.   I still could not access the
drives.  The weird part is when it boots up, it recognizes the drives being
there I just cant do anything with them?  It always boots in low res
and I tried creating a folder on the disk and was not able to.   Also
when I opend a window with a directory it showed me nothing....  I am
fairley sure it is not a problem of the drive, because I have two and trie
hooking them both up alone and got nowhere.   Anybody got any clues?

I think it may be the DMA chip?

John
