Now I'm getting a new motherboard on exchange
which should solve the floppy interchange problem.
Lessons learned:
1. eide IS sensitive to cabling
2. quality control appears to be a dying thing
with some manufacturers
The Linux community is the best technical support
around.

P.S. Dell, Megahaus, and U.S. Computer Direct
have been very good about product exchange--but
they need to get on the Linux bandwagon for
certifying their machines.
