Mounting physical floppy with MS-DOS guest/ Ubuntu host
Posted: 11. Aug 2009, 22:55
While I've got DOS and my application(s) of choice working well, I'm struggling to get the physical floppy working. It works fine under Ubuntu Linux, but won't work under VB.
I "install" it in the VB configuration panel, and then start my DOS virtual machine. The green light comes on, but I get the dreaded "Abort/ Retry/ Fail" message when trying to read from the disk.
The green light stays on throughout. Needless to say, there *is* a disk in the drive!
