I have been searching for a while to remedy this, but so far been unsuccessful.Īm I doing something wrong? Is there an issue with the virtual floppy component of v9.0.2? Would a previous version or point-release be better to use? Can I still purchase a license or download an eval for Workstation 6 or 7?

Other threads have suggested creating an ISO of a floppy and just changing the file extension to FLP. I have tried the following applications and VMWare still rejects the files albeit FLP or IMG. Failed to connect virtual device floppy 0. I have tried many different suggested tools that create virtual floppies in the correct file types, but when I attempt to mount them with VMWare I receive the same error message 'Fl oppy '*%path to file.FLP*' has an unsupported size.

I wanted to convert some of my existing floppy disks to virtual floppies for ease of use. My host is Windows 7 Professional - SP1.DOS 6.22 install was from a physical floppy disk attached to host. Install went fine, I then created a basic VM for DOS and Installed DOS 6.22 fine. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Workstation 9.0.2 (Build 103 1769). A vendor suggested using VMWare Workstation 9 to virtualize an older DOS 6.22 based PC.
