I do not use Avxcat myself but would expect some sort of "exclude drive(s)" setting within the app to avoid the problem or, possibly, an entry in an ini file that could be changed...


Floppy drive D: is possibly a USB Floppy - if I am right you can get rid of this, if not needed, by changing the config.sys entry to
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0

You could also REM cd related drivers in the config.sys to "lose" drive F:

@ivan
Drive order looks OK to me - fixed drives above removable drives

Ok Pete, following your suggestion I obtained the exclusion of floppy drives and usb CD by REMMING the line

REM BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD

and also

BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD  was remmed and replaced with the indicated string

BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0

this fixed the "not ready" drive alert when browsing the drives/volumes, and AVXCAT now let the folder been opened for files selection.

I thank you much

Thank you

I'm curious to know why you've got a SYS0039 not ready message (for COMn !) instead the more expected SYS0021 not ready message ?

cannot directly give an answer but maybe my config.sys can tell why, I can provide it if useful to clarify

Pete:
Hi

Probably got a sys0039 due to a lack of usb floppy drive.

Regards

Pete
