    Sounds like the data cable is backwards, I have done it many times it is
    easy to do.

    Ken, thanks for reply.
    Both plugs on the floppy drive ribbon cable are "keyed" so that they can only 
    go into the motherboard and floppy drive one way. Cannot be turned over.
    I tried reversing the ribbon cable end-for-end and replugging opposite ends 
    into the MB and floppy.
    But that did not make any difference.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.
    Gil
