I think it's because both technologies are actually serial devices. One important hint to pass on: If you completely remove the Bourns network filter (or equivalent) off of the logic board, it disables the external floppy port and the internal still works. The same goes with the network filter for the SCSI side.

If you need more schematics for the whole blasted thing, let me know.

Umm... no one seems to have asked. Is he actualy using an external floppy drive? If he is, then the reason it's flashing on and off is most likely a faulty/dirty cable. If he's not using an external floppy drive, then I'm not clued up enough to suggest anything. I really don't know about these compacts.

You're right - I didn't make it obvious, but no - I'm not using an external floppy.

I'm confident once the filters are changed the problem will be resolved. Am waiting for a quote.

if it pops up randomly and nothing is connected, its for sure the bourns network.
