Replaced Poser Supply
I replaced the power supply in a clone 486. Although I thought I had the cables connected correctly, when I boot up it counts the KB's then gives me the WAIT....for about 3 minutes then I get Hdd controller failure and Fdd controller failure. What am I doing wrong.

If indeed I fried my controller, and since it's on the motherboard, I suppose that I am SOL huh?
Is the time set correctly or back to the default?
Did you check your CMOS settings for the drives?

If you managed to toast your HD controller and nothing else, you ought to be able to disable it with the BIOS and stick in a new controller card. IDE cards are pretty cheap.
Try to remove-reinsert the I/O card.
