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.
