TSG_WW_SDK 9: A: drive is constantly accessed when the VC is running

Product: Virtual Controller

Version: 4.X

Problem: When VC is running, the PC floppy drive is repeatedly accessed

Solution: Reduce the number of mapped drives on the system

On systems that have a large number of physical and logical drives (>10), users may
experience continuous access of the A: drive when the Virtual Controller is running.

This symptom occurs when the total number of drives is greater than 10 because of a limitation
in the VC’s ability to recognize more than 10 drives.

As a workaround, disconnect mapped network drives (if possible) until less than 10 total drives
are connected.
