Subject: WINDOWS 386 & VER. 3.03 BIOS

There is an apparent incompatibilty between the version 3.03
BIOS and Windows 386.   We have a Micronics motherboard in
the 386 machine.  Running Windows 386 version 2.03 it is
impossible to access the floppy drive!  The problem is not
there with the earlier 2.09 BIOS.  Is there a solution for
this?  Please advise ASAP

We have found that the problem is related to speed
switching.
On the 3.03 BIOS, switch to low speed occurs during floppy
accesses to ensure greater reliablility of data transfer.
The BIOS by default automatically does this. W386 ddoes not
enjoy this feature. The problem can be avoided by disabling
speed switching (called NSS, No Speed Switch), entirely,
disabling floppy speed switching (NFS),, or MODHEX disabling
sp. sw.
We recommend NSS or MODHEXing. Micronics has been made aware
of this.
