Meyer) Organization: U.C. Davis - Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Lines: 15 I was wondering if anyone out there owns the TMC 885 controller for two reasons. First, since the controller can support up to four floppies with a software driver, I wanted to know how the driver works and if its easy to use. I want it pretty bad.. Second, does it take a long time for your computer to boot? Mine takes about ten extra seconds because of the controller. It kinda gets tiresome. So Id like to know if Future Domain has a bios upgrade to solve this problem.. If you get a chance, mail me "meyera@iris.ucdavis.edu" or try to post, please. Thanks in advance..... alan meyer
