Did you try flipping it on the cable end?

OR....

Making sure the floppy, if it's "A", is on the END of the floppy cable, after 
the "twist" in the cable?  If there's no twist, it wont work.

I'll think about it some more if that doesn't work.... :)

it's probably me, but I have tried all kinds of combo's and the floppy
drive refuses to co-operate! :-(  I know when the indicator light is lit
all the time the cable is reversed, but switching the cable does nothing.
If it was my computer, I wouldn't even worry about it, but it's not. (my

BIGGEST PITA! :-O
