The error messages say basically that we
don't know anything about this drive and
all reads from it are failing.  

It's likely that these floppy drives are
not quite the same as normal ones.  Does
the drive work under Linux or a BSD?

I had a bunch of Tecras running second
edition three years ago without a problem,
but perhaps they've changed the hardware 
around a bit since then.

Since you've found a way around using the 
floppy disk, I'd worry more about the VGA,
which looks like it should work.
