You know, Dave, there's a certain double-standard regarding software.
No one seems to care that Windows hasn't supported secondary (or
tertiary) floppy controllers since Windows NT (I suppose a case might
be made for Windows 9x using real-mode drivers). Or for that matter,
the Rancho parallel-port floppy, or (fill in the blank). M$ says "we
ain't gonna do more than 2, even if you got 4 floppies on a primary
controller" and everyone says okey-dokey.
But the fact that you don't support all configurations for a
controller that hasn't been made for, what, a decade?--seems to
bother folks.
It sometimes seems that we're all just a bunch of chimpanzees
throwing stuff around. And mostly male chimpanzees at that.
Thanks for ImageDisk--I've tried it and found it easy to use.
