TOPIC

    I installed the 166 MHz PC Compatibility Card in a Power Macintosh 4400/200 and I am having trouble with the floppy drive when using the PC environment. Writing data to the floppy or trying to format a floppy fail. What is wrong?


DISCUSSION

    There is an incompatibility between PC Setup 1.6 and the new floppy driver/controller on the Power Macintosh 4400/200. This was fixed in PC Setup 1.6.1, which shipped with the Power Macintosh 4400/200 PC Compatible system. Be sure you are using PC Setup 1.6.1 or newer. This software is available for download from Apple Software Updates sites.
