I believe you are referring to the NT 3.5 certification, not the NT 4.0
certification. It may not have a floppy, but I believe it does have network
connections. If I remember the announcement it was evaluated in UK, and
for EAL 3, and whatever was closest to the old C2 level model. I believe EAL 3
only requires that the software run in a "standard environment". Nothing
about failure rates, reliability (even of the audit functions).
