[Qemu-devel] no floppy in windows 95 guest

[Stephen Isard]

Hello,

I have a windows 95 disk image which I have run successfully under Fedora Core
1, RedHat 9 and OSX.  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
