 It should work when you specify the configuration on the command line, like

mame ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot8 tifdc

 Confirmed, flop1 is not found when the configuration (PEB, disk controller) is saved into ti99_4a.ini and not presented on the command line as arguments. I have never made use of the configuration save feature, so I did not notice until now. However, since I'm simply using the core functions, I cannot explain that behaviour.

 Is it because of the order it's applying the options? It's trying to parse the "-flop1" option from the command line before it reads any INI files. This means it hasn't set up the slot options as configured in the INI file, and hence doesn't know about the media options.

I don't think you can really do much about this - it needs to parse the command line before it knows where to look for INI files. It's a dependency issue.
