Hi all,
Last March I built a computer using an ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard and an
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
processor. The system has worked well since. Yesterday, I decided to add a
second floppy drive
(5.25") but the computer doesn't detect it. The BIOS setup program only
allows you to set up what
it calls "Legacy Diskette A". Windows doesn't detect it either. A quick
search on Google came up
with someone saying that some motherboards don't support a second floppy.
Can anyone here confirm
that the ASUS A8V does or does not support a second floppy?
