How to tell if fake windows knows where E: is?

I am trying to run a program in WINE that is a program that creates a bootable floppy. The creator of the program doesn't distribute a img file so that I can do this with dd. When I run the program, it asks me to choose from a list of drives, but anything at all. How can I varify that the fake windows of WINE knows that I have a floppy drive? I ran winecfg and it sees the floppy drive and put it as E:, but (at least in post-winesetup versions of WINE that I have used), this is just a mockup program right? It doens't really change WINE settings, it is just there to comfound everyone? Ubuntu 6.10, Wine 0.9.22.

Not to deter you from using wine, just offering an alternative: http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml

Code:

ls -l .wine/dosdevices

One way to do it would be to create a small test text file on the floppy disc (call it something like "test.txt").

Then, install a Windows text editor like notepad.exe somewhere. Run it with "wine notepad.exe", and see if you can open up that text file on E:.
