Hi Jo Even,

This is music to my ears, these are the exact symptoms that I have
been having for nearly a year.

Are you able to format a floppy using Mint 1.16 ?  I can't but
it works fine with 1.15.12.

My set-up is similar, Milan060 (50MHz), 144Mb RAM, ATI graphics card,
MilanBlaster (isa), PCI RTL8139 card, PCI Gem TV Hauppauge
card and PCI SCSI card.

I have 2 CDs and 2 HDs connected.

There is definately something in the Milan that disturbs the
network connectivity when the floppy is not connected.

Regards,

Peter
