[Coco] Running 5.25" drives with Win 2000

[Jim Cox]

I'm starting to build up a system so I can work with MESS 
and other CoCo emulators.

I'm having a little problem trying to get one of my 
systems to work with a 5.25" drive.  The system in 
question is a P3 - 500MHz.  I can set the BIOS for a 5.25" 
drive as either A or B, but when I boot into Windows 2000, 
every time I try to run the drive, I get "Please insert a 
disk into drvie B" (or A) message.

The 3.5 drive works fine regardless if it is set to drive 
A.  I tried several drives including a 3.5"/5.25" combo 
drive and none worked.

I then plugged the combo drive into a P3 1G Dell I have 
and it came right up.  The older system doesn't have all 
the updates, but it should find the 5.25" drive.

Any thoughts?  I looked through the BIOS and I don't see 
anything that might disable the use of a 5.25" drive.

Thanks

Jim

PS: I'm going to try to 3.5" drives in the system and see 
what happens.
