I just recently purchased an AST 286 model 140 and just last
night I got the message Diskette Subsystem Reset Failure. This
happened when I powered the system off from my powerstrip/surge
surpressor, and waited for the Hard Drive to stop spinning and
park itself, and then powered it back up. I don't think that
I ever did this before, I always before had used the Reset button
to reboot the computer. So I left the computer off for a few
minutes and then tried it again, and then it worked correctly.
So I didn't think to much about it. But then later I did the
same thing as above and got the Diskette Subsystem Reset Failure
but when i left the computer off for a few minutes.... It worked
great again. Is this normal or is there something slightly
wrong with my computer.
                            Thanx in Advance
