Hi everybody, I just bought an ibm ps/2 35sx. Unfortunately it’s floppy doesn’t work and I’m aware of the fact it could be its old capacitors.
So I decided temporarily to get a standard floppy adapted following some examples on internet, so that I could at least use the starter disk. Only problem is that whatever drive I use, even an old ps/1 floppy, it throws error 604 at boot. I’ve already modded the Dallas etc chip. With its original drive this doesn’t happen, it’s very weird.
i forgot to say that this error comes after 162 and before 163, which are normal because I’m not able to configure the pc. I tried to find documentation about this error but it only says “non-media sense error”.
Has anyone any idea?
