Hello, I may have a problem with the driver of the floppy drive 3,5" 1,44mb because win 95B detects as 5 1/4 and it not works good. No problem in dos. How could I fix this problem?

Hardware:
Motherboard milex socket5 with pentium 90mhz
Isa controller for com lpt ide floppy
Cable floppy with 2x 3,5 drive connectos and 1x5,25 drive connector.
Floppy 3,5 is setted on the end of the swapped floppy cable as drive A.

Thanks

Is there a jumper on the ISA card to select drive types?

Also make sure it is declared correctly in BIOS.

Thanks guys! On the isa controller I jumpered enable all the ports and there arent other jumpers to set. On the bios I setted on drive A 3,5 1.44mb correctly....i tried even an other floppy and an other cable but it's the same.
I tried to delate the driver but it's detected as 5,25 and with the error of the "Dos compatibility mode"
