I have the following problem:
My Compaq Deskpro 386/25m
originally had a 3.5-inch floppy drive installed. It is connected to a proprietary Compaq cable. The cable is designed like a classic FDD cable, has several connectors, and the last one has a “twist.” There is another strand to which I can connect 5.25-inch drives. Here is a cable that only has the card edge finger connectors. Again, there are three, the last one with a twist. When I connect the two drives correctly (3.5 to twist, 5.25 before twist), they are recognized correctly and also displayed correctly in the diagnostics. The 3.5“ drive works, but the 5.25” drive does not. It starts to read, but then cannot find the sectors.
What am I doing wrong?
