I tried masking the drive ready signal with plastic table (pin 34), but this didn't fix it. Has anyone had any luck with similar equipment?
However, I've had this problem before and I don't think I've ever solved it. I am able to boot the 5.25" drive into DOS. I am able to read the 3.5" floppy drive in Windows, no problem. In theory, WinXP supports 360K drives (there's a Microsoft KB article that says so!). I'm booting a fresh install of Windows XP SP2. My BIOS is set to identify drive A as a 5.25" 360K floppy and drive B as a 3.5" 1.44M floppy. The 3.5" drive does not have any jumpers.
The 5.25" drive does not have a termination pack installed and is set to DS1. I have the 5.25" floppy connected to the first connector on the drive cable and a 1.4M 3.5" floppy connected to the second connector on the drive cable (after the twist). The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."Ĭan anyone confirm these errors? More importantly, has anyone overcome them? In WinXP I'm getting the dreaded "A:\ is not accessible. The drive is an IBM type 1355 (YD-580), which came out of either an AT or a late model XT. I plopped a 5.25" 360K floppy into my Pentium III desktop (Intel 440BX chipset, AOpen AX6BC) to begin archiving a bunch of old disks.
