Hi Folks!
I've got a problem with a Bondwell B200 laptop that has me a little puzzled. It's an 80c88 system, 640k RAM and dual 720k floppy drives. The machine seems to work fine in that it boots DOS from floppy and can run programs. However, when I try to format a floppy disk, it only formats them as 40 track (360k)
As the machine is an XT, there is no BIOS to change the drive type and there are no jumpers / dip switches to change. If I add the following into config.sys, it lets me format drives C/D as 720k without issue so I'm guessing it's some sort of software / configuration issue but not sure what to change. Any suggestions?
device=driver.sys /d:0 /f:2 /c
device=driver.sys /d:1 /f:2 /c
Cheers,
Dave
