When I try to use the floppy drive,the computer "locks up".
I thought it was the drive itself so I replaced it. That wasn't my problem........it still does the same thing!!!!
I have tried several different floppies.....it's the same with any one floppy I try. Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Julian

Hello and thank you for your question.
Here are some things that could cause your problem:
1.Faulty cable
2.Incorrect connections
3.Faulty controller
4.Faulty motherboard
You can start with connections and then replace your floppy cable, and if still no change I would suggest replacing your motherboard.
Good luck!!
