Here they are: 1) The floppy disk drive controller takes three to four seconds before it begins doing I/O to the diskette. The light comes on right away, but nothing happens. Has anyone experienced a similar phenomenon on this or some other machine and know what's causing the problem? 2) My clone EGA card (admittedly a cheap one) which works just fine in a Sperry IT, but does not work at all on the PW2. Anyone have any idea why that may be? Thanks in advance -- Jay Elvove jay@umd5.umd.edu c/o Systems, Computer Science Center, U. of MD.
