Well, I tried this image under Virtual PC 1.0.1, and it's no-go on the PCI
MODE 1 detection:

Insert filesystem floppy and press return.

(I thought the installation floppy was an SSTO floppy with no need for
 a second floppy now?!?)

As a contrast, here's the output from an old July 7th 1.2G SSTO boot floppy
built with PCI_CONF_MODE forced to 1:

This is a rather distressing step backwards.  In addition to not seeing
the emulated PCI bus devices under Mode 1, it also doesn't find the 2
serial ports (com0 and com1)!!!  I never had that problem occur with any
of the test 1.2/1.2.1/1.2A/1.2D/1.2G installation floppies I've tried under
Virtual PC ...  :-(

Next idea, Matthias?
