Afraid your only solution might be to install Win95/98
As well as MacOS is not a Linux, Win2000 is not a DOS. So you can't run DOS programs on it. You can use the stupid Win2000's DOS emulation, but this can hardly handle direct hardware floppy drive access. You can write your own DOS emulation program :) Or you can buy one. These programs exist! I saw a program, which emulates PC on Win2000, so you can install ANY op.system to it!!! ----- Aley
