Hi, I have recently upgraded my system to a K6-2 300mhz and a Asus P5A-Super
7 motherboard.  Since the upgrade my computer has started to hang
occassionally, when I attempt to read or write to a floppy disk from within
windows 98.  If I boot to the command prompt or use a boot disk I
can read/write no problem in dos.

I have tried a number of different cables/floppy drives - however they all
seem to encounter the same problem.

It seems to me that there may be some problem between the Asus motherboard
and win98?

Does anyone know of such a problem and/or help with a solution ?

thanks

Alasdair
