40 PCA-6178 User’s Manual
3.4.4 Boot Up Floppy Seek
During Power-On Self Test (POST), BIOS will determine if the floppy
disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. A 360 KB type drive is 40 tracks;
while 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives are all 80 tracks.
Enabled BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it is 40 or 80
tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB,
and 1.44 MB type drives. This is because they are all 80
tracks.
Disabled BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track
number. Note that there will not be any warning message if
the drive installed is 360 KB.
