Hmmm, sounds like the DOS card does something
different than VPC with the boot sector, master boot
record (MBR) or both.
If you select the VPC C: file as C: for the DOS card,
can you boot with a floppy and see what's on the
disk file?
If you can, make a copy of the VPC file, boot the DOS
card with a floppy that has FDISK on it then enter
FDISK /MBR
See what happens, like will it boot the DOS card?
If it will, try that copy with VPC.
