Hello...

I cannot seem to get access to my floppy drive under WinNT emulation.

Absolutely everything else works as expected (sound, cd-rom, mouse,
video, etc.) ... but I keep getting a "device not ready" error when I try
to access the floppy drive.  There are no errors on startup, and
everything seems to be set as per whatever README's I could find.

Here's my nt4.cfg... hopefully someone will see what I am missing.
Do I need to indicate that the floppy drive does in fact work when
accessed via console login?  ;-)

... Jamie
