Kill the caps lock as there is no reason whatsoever for you to be yelling at me! What you don't seem to understand is that just because something is listed as supported doesn't mean it's not without any issues! Just read the product release notes and you'll see not everything works 100% and I doubt that there is any one product or software/hardware combination that works in 100% of all situations/combinations 100% of the time. Well fine!!! If VMware won't "waste any resources" to actually support it, WHY IS IT LISTED!?!?!? (Again, if an OS is listed as "supported", why does something as basic as sound require the user to install third party drivers or manually alter VMware's code? Its the same for most pre2k OS's! Why not just include all the required drivers and proper "VMware tools"? The lack of the "Unity" feature is disappointing too!) The Soundblaster 16 driver for Windows 3.1 keeps giving me that stupid "Wrong base I/O" message during the install! I've added EVERYTHING people say to add to the vmx file, but nothing works! No matter what disk image I use or how many times I reinstall Windows (using floppy disk images) I can not get it to work!ģ.
I'm able to boot from it in DOS, but once Windows loads up all I get is an "A:/ not accessible. Windows 95 wont recognize the virtual floppy drive at all. with out the need of extra steps? If VMware would just recognize the floppy drive the same way it does with the internal CD/DVD drive, things would be so much easier!)Ģ. If an OS is listed as "supported", don't you think installing it the logical way would be "supported" too?. (I originally needed the floppy drive to install said OS's, but since VMware would only recognize it as just another USB device I could not boot from it. Every download site I can find just links back to the SmartDisk website, which no longer exists! I have hundreds of disks I need to sift through and I DO NOT want to have to convert ALL on them to disk images just to get them to load! I NEED the drivers for the SmartDisk USB Floppy Drive (Titanium Edition) for Windows 3.1 (doubt it exists, but still.), Windows 95, and Windows 98. I've run out of patients and I just need this stuff to work!ġ. I know floppy disks are obsolete and anything older than Windows XP may seem useless to own, but VMware claims to support everything as far back as DOS and Windows 3.1.
I have several things I need help with and I felt it would be quicker to just combine it all into one discussion…
