HD-IDE boot only in admin mode in 2.3.3?

jman · 09 October 2011, 15:18

Hello,

I'm starting WinUAE with a IDE HD attached through a USB adapter.
As of 2.3.3 I don't need anymore to launch WinUAE as admin to have enabled the option to add a physical device.

However if I'm not admin I don't see the physical disks in the dropdown list.
Is this an issue or the intended behaviour?

Attached my conf and logs.

Thanks.

Admin restriction was removed because some devices can be accessed without admin privileges (at least some CF adapters), not all.

That explains why my compact flash card is available without admin rights :-)

Thanks!
