I have 2 internal floppies installed in a base machine, there are no other add-ons. When this drive is plugged in and I boot from df0: (I tried many disks and the story was the same) I keep getting requesters like 'You MUST replace in drive 0!!!' or 'Unit 1 not a DOS disk' or it grinds a little and I get the Kick screen again. But I never took the darn disk out of the drive, It just seems to be random requester time when this happens. After doing the 3 finger salute maybe 10-15 times the machine will boot. The drive has a unit switch on the back labeled 0 and 1, I keep it on 1 cause this is what the manual said to do. Of course I tried it on 0 and it still freaked out and would never boot (well.. I just never waited for it when it ws set to 0). Am I missing something here? Is there a motherboard jumper for external drives, as there is for 2nd internals? Thanks in advance for replies and Merry Xmas and a cool 1990.
