Subject: 5 1/4" disc on PC

Hello all, 

As part of my recent efforts to get software accross to my master and beebs
I tried connecting a 5 1/4" disc to my PC - this did not work:

When the BIOS was set to 360k 51/4 disc the POST (floppy seek) failed and
the drive only showed up as 40T in omniflop
When BIOS set to 1.2M it passed POST, showed up ok in Omniflop but just made
squeaky noises instead of the heads moving.

My bios had no other settings - is it a lost cause?

Dom
