I would like to ask for help concerning a problem that has been bugging my 
computer. I have 386 clone from ACT which I bought mail order more than a 
year ago. Recently, both of the floppy drives (high density 3.5", high density
5.25") have been destroying any unprotected disks that is inserted in them. By 
destroying, I mean any disk access will not only erase the data but will also	
leave the media unusable. However, the computer reads properly from write-
protected disks. Also, read and write operations on the hard drive are 
done properly. I checked for viruses and found none. 

A friend of mine performed some diagnostics and found that the DMA page register
number 2  was bad. A local branch of TRW has offered to fix my machine 
provided I have the necessary chips to replace the bad ones. I found that the
major chips in the system board are from Chips and Technologies with numbers
P82B305, P82C302, P82A304, P82A306, P82C301, P82A303, and P82C206. I would like
to know which of these chips and any other chips will need to be replaced,
what chips would be compatible replacements, and how I can order these
replacements. Suggestions on how I should deal with this problem are also
welcome. Thanks to all in advance.
