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? ;-) ...
