I emailed a friend of mine who had Virtual PC on an old Mac - he doesn't have the Mac anymore, but thinks he remembers how to set it up. He suggested you look in the configuration of the VM you defined, and make sure the floppy is bound to the VM. It may not be. The VM can be responsible for presenting a floppy device to the guest OS, and make it look like a regular floppy device.
Email me off-list if I can help further. -jh On 3/19/07, Bonnie Dalzell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I wrote about my problems with FreeDos under Virtual PC on my Power > PC MAC - the problem being that I cannot figure out how to get Freedos > to recognize the USB floppy drive - several of you berated me for using > Virtual PC because it is an M$ product and told me to go look at > VMWare and other emulators. > > Well as far as I have been able to tell - for a Power G5 MAC using OSX- > Virtual PC is the only game in town unless I want to set it up to dual > boot into Linux - which is not my intention - I want Freedos running in > a window on the Mac Desktop. > > VMWare and Parallels and the other one that was mentioned will only run > on OSX MACs that are the new X86 MACs.
