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.

Hi! What was the revision for the floppy driver that made it inoperative? You told me on IRC. I did not take my notes to work.
Hello,
I think that 0.3.4 should have most hardware regressions (floppy and vga) fixed. I know I'm not the one to say this but, we are already closer to this goal than we were with 0.3.3. Fixing the floppy regression should only involve finding the spot in which floppy is not reporting correctly to ntoskrnl. I did some tests on this issue and it fails on line 596-598 of ntoskrnl\io\iomgr\volume.c and floppy was never mounted as the status reported was STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR from line 1017-1021 in drivers\storage\floppy\floppy.c. I don't know much about the vga regression but I'd think that it may only require a few days work to find and fix the issue. We already have SATA support included with trunk (uniata.sys) and SCSI is also working now.
