I have a Revision A Microsolutions CompatiCard I card, but I can't seem to get it to work. However, I don't have an older computer to know if it's a compatibility issue, or if my card is broken.
When used as a secondary controller, I always get a "DIVIDE OVERFLOW" when I attempt to access the floppy drive, forcing me to restart. I then get a "FLOPPY CONTROLLER FAILURE" on reboot.
If I use it as a primary controller, I always get "DRIVE NOT READY" error, and nothing happens.
I'm using an Intel DX4-100 Overdrive with DOS 6.22 and 32MBs of memory. I pulled all other cards out when testing, just incase it's a hardware conflict. I also tried it as secondary and tertiary controller as suggested by the manual, but no go.
Looks like this card was originally intended for 286 and 386 machines, neither of which I have to test if it's a compatibility issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
