Hey guys. I enountered a major problem this morning with my iigs. I was trying to run a demo from my Floppy EMU and I noticed that the floppy wasn't mounting in GS/OS. I tried another and the same. Then I became concerned about my smartport slot (#5) and I connected my 3.5" drive. Same. I checked the slots in control panel and they look right. I tried to boot from slot #5 and it said "No device detected." So my slot #5 has crapped out on me THOUGH it does power whatever is connected, jsut won't mount a disk. Any idea how I can get it to work again?

My first step would be checking the voltages to the DB19 connector (pinout below).
Has the PSU been serviced?

I know this is an old thread, but something I don't see is an indication of what Slot 5 was set to in the Slots CDA.
