I would comment to say I AM using 32-bit, Windows 7 with Intel chipset motherboard.
I can also comment that my testing has shown floppy drive brand doesn’t seem to matter.

My PC is only used for EMAX functions with EMXP / Omniflop and IC programming in DOS

I'd say it's your 64-bit operating system. In our experience with many customers, the 64-bit OmniFlop driver hasn't turned out to be reliable.

I've of the opinion now that if you are going to use older gear, use a XP 32-bit with an internal floppy drive with OmniFlop. Try to use a 64-bit OS just isn't worth it (for floppy reasons and SCSI reasons).

Too bad Jason of Sherlock (OmniFlop) quit out when he did.
