If it's not one thing, its another...moan,moan.

Now that's off my chest, I need to ask all you brilliant Acorn owners
<grovel> about a problem I have a problem with my floppy disc drive.
As you may know, after a lot of good advice I decided to invest in an
Atomwide fast serial card which, I must say, does speed things up a bit
(even with the problem of the news download speed, but I digress). After
fitting the podule, I put the disc provided by Atomwide in to load up a new
version of !SerialDev and an error message came up:
Disc not formatted
I then tried my other backup discs, program discs and found that *all* my
floppy discs came up with the same message.
All I can think of is that I dislodged something when putting in the podule.
I tried taking out all the podules (386 card) etc and reseating them but to
no avail.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Mike
P.S. I must thank Atomwide who provided me with the programs that were on
the disc within hours by email. Thanks guys!
