Has anyone been able to get uport 3.0e to work  with a 1.44 meg floppy as 
drive B: for doscp ??
The config is a Compaq 386/20 1.2 A: drive and a 1.44 B: drive.
I can get the B: drive to work as a 720k, but not as a 1.44. Usually I get
bad media descriptor, or something to that effect, when trying to read it
as a 1.44. I've re-made the device with mknod, but still get the same
problem. I've also put in a different drive. The drives work fine under
dos in the same machine. useing /dev/dsk/f13ht (I beleive, however I tried 
them all).

Any help appreciated ....
Thanks Bob
