It works fine using my Conner 170 Meg drive. The model number on the WD drive is WD95044A. Does anyone have a clue as to what would be causing this? It boots MS-Dog just fine, but when I insert the TinyBSD floppy, it hangs at the afore mentioned point. I didn't realy feel like partitioning my Conner before doing a quick evaluation using the Western Digital drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I dive into the source. So much for quick evaluations. :) Thanx, --- -klaus klaus@ced.utah.edu "To turn is to admit defeat"
