Lines: 17 I think the problem you are seeing is a floppy controller incompatability issue (or wrong jumpering of floppy controller). What happens is that when you open the drive door to change the floppy, it fails to send a signal to the BIOS, telling it that the disk was changed. So BIOS continues using the info stored in ram buffers. ============================================================================ And here goes the usual disclaimer that says: This are my opinions...I am only a stisfied customer...I AM...
