Hi all
I recently picked up a floppy controller to use in my 286 4 floppy build (360K, 1.2mb, 1.44 and Gotek).
I grabbed it because it has a built in BIOS and the option to be jumpered to the secondary IO address.
Currently having some issues though. Upon boot up I get a display saying both A and B drives are 1.2Mb, despite being set in the Bios as 1.44 and 1.2Mb.
So I presume the BIOS on the floppy controller is set incorrectly. But I have no idea how to change it! I read the EPROM on my TL866, hoping that there'd be something visible on it with instructions for changing it, but no such joy.
There are jumpers to set the drive type on the card, but the card BIOS seems to override these. It also seems to overide the address jumper.
If I disable the card BIOS, it works perfectly, but then I believe I need a special driver to get DOS to recognise the 3rd and 4th drive. Maybe this is a better way to go, but can anyone tell me what driver I require, googling seems to suggest driver.sys, but I can't seem to find this?
