pcandpc Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi,Has anyone made Caleb 144 MB ultra high densityfloppy drive work in Vista Home Basic?This device has an EIDE-interface, and it is recognizedas an IDE device at BIOS level and as LS-120 IDE devicein the Device Manager.However, the device is not listed at all in the Explorer.Unfortunately, the Caleb is no longer in business, I think.Thanks.

arctirus Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 No offense dude but throw it away and buy a $10 usb stick with twice that capacity. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponch Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Have you checked for jumpers ? Does it appear in Disk Management ? Around what year was that thing made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 This device has an EIDE-interface, and it is recognizedas an IDE device at BIOS level and as LS-120 IDE devicein the Device Manager.I think it’s not supported any more. I’m surprised it sees the LS-120... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcandpc Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi,Thanks for your feedbacks.Well, I just neglected to take a closer look atall removable devices list in the explorer alongwith my other media card reader/writer.It just happens that one of these "unnamed" removable devices is the 144 MB floppy drive.By the way, when my system starts, this floppydrive's access light flickers for good 5 or so minutes.Is this normal with this kind of eide-interfaced floppy drive?I double checked my cable connection and all that.Everything looks normal on that end.

puntoMX Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 By the way, when my system starts, this floppydrive's access light flickers for good 5 or so minutes.No, that’s not normal, normally it will light up when it’s accessed/initialized. Looks more like an error "code" to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
