My brother asked me to post this problem he is having with his son's computer.
The computer itself is a Micr 386sx using a NESX Motherboard, ROM BIOS:
American Megatrends, Inc. dated 4/9/90, Number ENSX-6124-040990-KB, 386 BIOS
Motherboard contains C&T chip set, 1.2 TEAC floppy  and 1.44 TEAC floppy with
western digital controller.

Problem: #1 1.44 drive will not autosense, ie. must set bios to either 720K or
1.44 M depending on type of diskette being used. 
#2 floppy drives will not format a diskette....all other I/O activities are
satisfactory. When trying to format a disk, get a message that the drive door
is open or diskette not inserted.

I would really appreciate any help on this I can get .

Thanks in advance.
