The only thing that doesn't work as expected is accessing floppy disk images. When I specify an image file with fda on the command line, the windows device is reported as functioning with no resource conflicts, but when I click on a: in "my computer" I get a "device is not ready" error message, as if there were no disk inserted. However, if I reboot the virtual machine into dos mode, I can read and write the floppy image, so it is just a windows problem, and not that the virtual machine is ignoring the image altogether. Is this a known problem? Thanks, Stephen Isard
