Dear All,

I have one IBM 5170 Fixed Disk and Diskette Drive Adapter that prevents the computers from starting!
I have tried it in a 486 and simply, when I turn on the PC, I see the led quickly flashing and then the PC stops... I also tried without any HD of FDD connected, removing also the cables!
When I remove the card everything return normal.

I also tried the card on a IBM 5162 and I have the same issue... the computer does not start at all. Even the HD and FDD do not start rotating... like the computer is not on!
Some ideas? Never heard or read something similar... :(

The jumpers have factory settings!

Thank you
