Well I was thinking on boot floppy developers, who need to test them so many times and Plex86 could be useful for them. Do you know of a way to test a set of two floppies using Plex86? I've tried to assign the B drive to the 1st floppy and A to the 2nd one, and attempted to boot the B drive so that it mounted the A. But that didn't work. Also I can't try it with a real floppy drive because my box lacks of it, does anyone know if floppies can be swapped within Plex86 using a real floppy drive?
