Has anyone experienced problems in reading floppy drives when in Windows?
I can read my 5 1/4' just fine, but trying to read from my 3 1/2' produces
a "System Error" from the File Manager, or a "Drive not ready" error from
a DOS session.  Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so, what
caused them?

Thanks in advance!
