I got one of those GoldStar Prime 2C 9509 I/O cards. I have tried everything I can think of. Tried it with 2 486 motherboards and 1 386 motherboard. I can't make any of them boot from dos 6.22 install disk. I made sure that the cable and floppy drive and the floppy are ok. I have a pentium system that has floppy connector directly on the motherboard and it boots fine from the same 6.22 dos install disk. I used the same floppy cable and same floppy drive that was in the pentium system and connected it to the Goldstar I/O card on those 386 and 486 motherboards and it still doesn't boot. The floppy drive sounds like it tries to read the disk but I always get drive not ready error when trying to boot.
I would appreciate any advice if there is anything I can do or if the Goldstar card is just broken.
