Problem with floppy drive

I have a PC/104 board. My floppy drive works well under DOS but in QNX I
see no file on a floppy disk full of stuff. I can mount the floppy without
error and the drive’s led is flashing. This same floppy disk works well
under another QNX box. I am suspecting my floppy controler to be badly
supported by the driver.

Am I right?
Are there several floppy drivers available? Otherwise, is there a list of
supported hardware I could check at before buying a new controller?

Thank you very much.

It is not the same board. The one working is a desktop PC and the other is
a PC/104. The controler board is from RealTime Devices(part number CMT107).
