Put DOS into a VMWare Workstation VM, and connect the floppy drive to the VM? Does that work?

It requires a supported OS to run though and Windows 8 and 7 don't hack it. I still have to build a system to get to the 5.25" disks and the 100 and 250 Zip disks so I will get a change to check them on another drive. The only good thing is I don't have any 8" disks to deal with! Have you ever worked with the IBM PS2 3.5"drives? Those beasts would format any 3.5" disk to 1.44 if you told it too. Then they could only be read on the IBM drive. I just hope that is not what these are.
