I'll try to explain this even though I don't use the emulator.

The emulator normally read virtual disks. There are some special .dsk 
files that come with the emulator. When these are mounted into the 
emulator "disk drives", the emulator will actually read/write to a 
hardware drive. Chances are you will want FDD0_360.DSK, but many more 
types are in your emulator package.

Mount the above file and see if you can read drive a:\. Let us know what 
happens.
