Hmm, Mscdex.exe is a cdrom program. I haven't worked with NT in a while. If
you can't see the file system on the C drive you have a couple of options. The
easiest would be to use just HD floppies. This is also the slowest performance
wise. The other option involves using a program such as FIPS to adjust the
partition table and place a small MsDos FAT16 partition on the drive. If
memory serves, NT can read either format.

Now that I think about it. I had problems with ApplePC and HD disks, but
I ran ApplePC from a hard disk. It may work well if everything is run from
a floppy.
