I have a Pentium MMX 166 tower. I've had it for about 5 years, but have just installed a 5.25" 1.2MB Epson SD-680L floppy. It works as expected in DOS 6.2, Windows 3.1, and Red Hat Linux 6.2. It also works as expected in Windows 98, with one exception. If you listen to the video, you can hear 0:43 and 0:53 seconds into the video, as Windows is starting up, it makes a loud grinding noise twice. At 1:32 and 1:49, you can hear the normal drive sounds with and without a floppy in. It sounds as expected, and is the same in the other OS's on the computer.
I'm actually suprised that the B drive is being accessed at all during startup. Windows doesn't access the A drive during startup, and DOS, Windows 3.1, and Linux all don't access either the A or B drive during startup.
Any thoughts?
