Gene,  I think you've mentioned this before.  Do you think it's the actual 
FDC hardware, or something that needs tweaking in the disk parameter files 
(there are a few of them that deal with floppy I/O)?

I wonder if there are any PCI bus controllers with a more cooperative FDC 
chip.  I know I have to hold my mouth just right for this to work on my 
shop machine (motherboard circa-1999) using the built-in controller.
