Floppy seems to grab 64k at a time and struggle with it. Takes 5 minutes
to copy a 250k file from the HDD to a 1.44. The CPU is not being

speed). Boot to windowz and there is no problem with the 1.44. Any ideas?

You aren't telling us anything usefull. Is the floppy formatted as a dos
floppy ? Did you use the 'dd if=your-file-here of=/dev/fd0 bs=?
(64,128,256...etc)

How do we know if you even have a clue? Did you even try a google search ??
What OS are you using to write the floppy ??

I've written floppy's in Linux and they never take that long !! Maybe you
got some bubble gum stuck in there somewhere....LOL

Can you open a Linux terminal and type 'man dd' ???
