P4P800 Doesn't Recognize 2nd Floppy Drive

3

I am unable to get my system to recognize my 2nd Floppy Drive.
I have checked all Bios Setup Settings, Drive Letter Congigurations, etc.,
but the system continues to see only one of my Floppy Drives at a time.

I have checked my Floppy Cable and Power Cables.
System will see either Floppy Drive (as Drive A:) when hooked up
Individually,
but not both of them (as Drive A: & B:) when hooked to Master/Slave
connections
on the same cable.

What am I missing here?

I think newer motherboards don't even bother having support for two floppy
drives.

for one drive anyway.

BIOS's and the floppy controller on motherboards these days will only handle
up to ONE floppy. You cannot use two.
