I had the Intel 945G board that was having similar problems a few months 
back, but you fixed it. I have recently run across a laptop that seems 
to exhibit the same problem however. With no physical floppy, I get a 
Invalid disk error. With a USB floppy attached, my MS-DOS images boot 
just fine. I can fill you in with the specifics as you'd like...
