It's Win2k Pro and I doubt it has any of the 4 service packs. I think i have owned that disk since day one. I didn't try XP Pro this round but I can go back and try the last drivers i posted. I will need to check if any of my XP disc have any service packs or not. I will see what i can do with the service pacts.
Yep the floppy drive is a brand new Sony USB. It works flawless across all my other PC's. Thank you so much for your time. This has been a wild one!
Also on another note Charlie over on facebook asked about lspci -nn so while i'm inside mint here are the results.
