Randy,

You may have problems due to extra floppy drivers and filters being
loaded in your config.sys file. There have been workarounds on this
for a while.

Try remarking out the lines shown below in your config.sys file if you
are *not* on a microchannel machine and your system is ISA.

BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
rem BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
rem BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT

If you are on a microchannel machine then make the following changes:

rem BASEDEV=IBM1FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM2FLPY.ADD
BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
rem BASEDEV=XDFLOPPY.FLT

Let us know what happens!
