Hopefully this is the correct news group.  If not my apologies..

I recently had a machine's on-board IDE controller fail and seeing as
 the the board was slow I replaced the motherboard (with a future view
 to replacing the CPU).

I purchased a SERVEX TX531 motherboard and installation was a breeze.

But I have a problem.  Whenever I access the FDD the system misbehaves.
 Either GPF's or blue screen of death in W95 or a lock-up or reboot in 
 DOS.

The system seems perfectly stable at all other times (HDD, comms, 
video,etc)
 
I have checked cables,jumpers, reloaded W95, replaced the FDD (just in 
 case) and just about everything else.  I say just about as I am  
 obviously missing the cause.  The web site for servex has been no help. 

Can anyone out there suggest other items that I should check.  I am 
 starting to get desperate, so any help would be appreciated.

Please respond by email as I may not make it back to the news groups for 
 a while.

Thanks HEAPS in advance.
