Hello, 

I have just install gnuwin32/b18 version on my NT , it is great !
but i have a problem to access raw floppy (with tar or dd) 

when typing : tar tvf /dev/fd0
i can see the floppy led flashing but i get :
tar: Cannot open /dev/fd0: No such file or directory

the mount command give :
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
c:               /                   native      no-mixed,text!=binary

is there something else to configure to make this working ?

excuse me if this question was already posted , but i can not find the respons 
if the two last month of mailing list archive !
