Starting the client in runlevel 3 I can see the usb pen is recognized and initialised. floppyd is running on the client with flags "-d /dev/sda1". This device has rw for others.
However, when starting X and trying to run MToolsFM to access the pen, the pen cannot be accessed. On first access the diagnostics window at the bottom og mtoolsfm says
floppyd_io: Input/output error
On subsequent accesses it says
Permission denied, authentication failed! Auth failed: Device locked! Drive 'A:' not supported Cannot initialize 'A:'
Using mdir a: from the command line gives the same result.
In /etc/mtools.conf I have drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive drive b: file="/dev/fd1" exclusive drive m: file="/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first" partition=1 offset=128 drive n: file="/var/lib/dosemu/fdimage"
And in /etc/mtoolsfm.conf DRIVES="a" LEFTDRIVE=" " RIGHTDRIVE=" " MPATH="/usr/bin"
My ~/.mtoolsfm is identical to /etc/mtoolsfm.conf
I've played a little with ~/.mtoolsrc, but nothing seems to change the behaviour.
Has anybody been able to make this work reliably?
Any suggestions welcome.
