Re: [ros-dev] [RE:] ReactOS 0.3.4 Hardware Support

[Gabriel ilardi]

Hi Jim,

In rev. 22764 the floppy works.

In 22765, trying to access the floppy will fail, from cmd it says invalid drive, meanwhile
trying to access it 
from the run dialog you'll get an ERROR_GE_FAILURE A device attached to the system is
not functioning.This happened with the old filesystem recogniser driver, but in rev. 26266
a new one has been introduced. With this one the problem is that
trying to access the floppy will lead you to:

Assertion '!(DiskByteOffset % DriveInfo->DiskGeometry.BytesPerSector)' failed
at
drivers\storage\floppy\readwrite.c line 369

See bug 2289 for some details.

Regards,

gabriel_it.
