I have no floppy disc, so I've got no idea if a VM will allow me to
access the floppies or not.
I've got a USB floppy as I have a lot of material on floppies and it is OK
on Vista and Ubuntu (under VMware). But i'm told that W7 has no floppy
support. Can anyone confirm this?

Probably understandable - how many Windoze users (apart from QLers perhaps)
would want to use floppies nowadays?
DD disk support vanished a while back on PCs - must get my USB FLP drive out
to see if it works as a HD disk on Win7 or not.
If you look hard enough, you can get small (i.e. 1GB or so) pen drives for a
pound or two now, not to mention SD cards etc so floppies probably really
are redundant when you only occasionally want a removable portable medium.
What do others on this list think?
