I have no problem with my KK266-R. But I have overclocked using the multiplier and only a 1mhz bump in FSB speed.

if my math is right your fsb is 157 and your pci bus speed should be 39MHz, the limit for most boards and the reccomended max. Try lowering it a bit and seeing if it works

No I'm using and Amd with the multiplier open so I'm running 150fbs x 10.5 but the floppy won't work until I clocked down to at lest 1.4ghz is like the bios don't wait for the floppy to mount maybe I need a better floppy drive

well, i doubt any other FDD will help, as its probably the onboard controller thats crapping out on ya.
i'm not sure why you'd bother with floppies, i don't even have one in my box,
but... i also don't really see a solution for you, aside from iomega ZIP drives or CDRW or something more worthwhile.

maybe check out BIOS options, controller enabled for one,
then maybe try to enable/disable FDD seek on boot up?...

hope this helps, save your cash, a new/other FDD won't fix... maybe the 4.32 4in1's might help? or the next revision someday maybe?

good luck dude!
