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.

The VGA issue are more complex that you think. the VGA drv is correct and the ntoskrnl is correct seam be right it is some undoc behoirs. I think cause the regress. I expain for both hpousin and alesky what I think goes wrong. none of them have come up with any idea to fix the issue, I am out of idea what really goes wrong. only way is to debug windows and reactos see what is diffent behoirs and what goes wrong.
