Why so? I am using the floppy port on an aha-1542B and it works. Same here. I think his point is (correctly) that you have to be careful of conflicts between a builtin floppy controller, if you have one, and the one on the 1542B. If your machine already has a floppy controller, the one on the 1542B should be disabled or moved to the secondary address. -- - Charles Hannum NetBSD group Working ports: i386, hp300, amiga, sparc, mac68k, pc532.
