Dear STF,
I have tried both. No difference.

How did you change the floppy? I mean, did you just choose one
image file after another? Or did you *remove* the current floppy
image *and then* choose the next one?

Bertho,
Given the high level of responsibility [Ha-Ha!] taken by the
VirtualBox creators, it looks as if I will have to add another
UIDE switch, that disables diskette caching regardless of what
its other switches tell it to do.
Jack, if I may chime in... I think you're now contemplating

Bertho,
... I've not been defending MS smartdrive against UIDE - clearly
they are not reciprocally substitutable, there are arguments for and
against, either side, and also cases when it is not easy to choose.
I've been mentioning smartdrive only for the fact that it lets the

Page views != unique users.
No idea, the guide acts as a very nice general installation manual.
Combine that with the presence of multiple emulators (QEMU, Bochs,
VMware) as well as some

Der experts,
may I ask another question:
Is there a way to make FreeDos ignore that there is a floppy present upon boot,
i.e. force a boot from the harddrive? Again only a problem when running it in a
VM, I think, as on a hard PC, you may set the boot options in the BIOS.
Thanks!

Ulrich,
It's great that you added the /N5 switch for VirtualBox users. It was a
really fast reaction. And the anger to be forced by a buggy program to
create such a workaround is completely understandable - and makes your
reaction even more worthy. THANKS!
My Thanks to you, as well!
