just tried it here. works perfectly. its the a: drive. make sure the
checkboxes for your floppy to both connect and connect at power on are
all checked. it should work its working great here.

Ok, and VMWare 4.0.2 also doesn't want to let me use a .flp floppy
disk image - here's the image file in case you want to test/try it out
for me:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13327195/hobbit.iso.flp
The two files inside that are Hobbit.dat and Hobbit.com, and like
said, in windows XP virtual machine, can browse the virtual floppy
alright, but, under either VMWare version, when using the dos/win3.1
image, both versions just tell me that there's no disk in either/any
floppy drives/ddevices, etc.
And, saw that the option for sharing virtual network share paths is
listed under VMWare player 4.0.2, but, disabled, and also saw in
windows 3.1 control panel that it doesn't seem to have any network
adapters installed - not sure what actual hardware the virtual device
could match, and/or how I would install drivers if can't pass
data/files on to this image...<smile>
Wonder if there's not a way to access/work with the VMWare virtual
file system externally/prior to booting up VMWare image? Will have to
look around for that, but, chances are you'd need to have the paid for
VMWare software installed.

Ok, and tested floppy image with same newish version of VMWare
player, but through my windows XP VMWare image, and could read/copy
files with no issue, so am guessing that it must be something like a
drive letter issue, or file system incompatibility - will double
check all BFI command line options again, in case it's defaulting to
something like fat32, etc.

I just do it like this
bfi -f=c:\myfloppy.flp c:\games
makes a floppy image of all files in the games folder.

As in - sorry for multiple posts - used following bfi command:
bfi -t=144 -f=hobbit.flp src
And, had the two files for image in src sub-directory - hobbit.com
and hobbit.dat - and if I then use 7zip to extract contents of
hobbit.flp, they are there/do show up.

Oh yes, and what floppy disk image format did you choose? 144, 360?

Ok, created the .flp image of the original hobbit game's files,
but, if I either try mount it to the already included floppy disk
piece of virtual hardware, or try create another one inside
virtual machine, it keeps telling me disk/drive not ready from
command line when virtual machine is running..?
Do you just reassign the already included floppy disk to use that
image file, do you tell it to connect at power up, or do you map
it into virtual machine another way?
TIA

first I used a free command line program called BFI floppy to
turn it into a floppy disk image file. I mounted it in the
virtual machine and it showed up as an a: drive then in dos with
asap I typed
copy a:\island.exe c:\
and it coppied over into the vmware hard drive file system.
