Thank you all for responding. The problem was a corrupt
floppy,now replaced , and my willingness to be be told by
someone I should_not_ have listened to that without bios
recognition, I would not get a H/drive on the secondary card port
to work. It now does work and the machine has a G drive ! (I
partioned the 3rd H/drive and the CD takes up the last drive
letter G. My only problem is the software driver only seems to
be capable of seeing less than 504 M/bs which put paid to having
850 M/bs as the 3rd drive. I shuffled the drives
around.....actually it took a full day.....and now have a 540 M/b as
the 3rd hard drive formatted as 504 M/b. Do software drivers
exist to "see" greater than 504 M/bs ? Thanks again for help, I
live and learn....slowly !
