Oh, I just found that the `no media' message doesn't happen with
the patch I've sent a few minutes ago.  Now they are not shown as

/cygdrive/a: no medium

but as

dr-xr-xr-x    6 root     root            0 Jan  1  1970 a

The drives are still accessed, though but that's probably only a
problem for floppies.
