http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html works well.
Works well.. I also use it to make images that I later boot of my USB stick.
Very handy for programs like Symantec Ghost that have a built in floppy builder.

google the words " floppy disk drive emulator "
you'll find some programs that can emulate
a virtual floppy disk drive
also find a program that makes floppy disk images
and here are instructions on how to make your USB flashdrive bootable.
I dont know know if it works because My computer didnt come with floppy drive
either but I went out bought one. (very inexpensive nowadays)
I also use USB flashdives as well, so I know making macking a bootable
USB flahdrive works
hope that helps

Yes, the idea of using a Virtual PC software did come to my mind.
However, the reason why I need only a floppy disk emulation is that I use my computer to create boot disks, or driver diskettes, which I then pump into a CD for easier maintenance/longer durability. Many of the self-uncompressing diskette image executables fail to run if no diskette drive is available.
The Virtual PC solution is just too "huge" when only simplified floppy emulation is required.
I also know now that there is no such software available. Thus, if the writer of Daemon Tools could give me at least some a hint on how device emulation works, then I could write the software myself. I am competent in CS Engineering, but I lack hardware knowledge

I don't know a specific program which is capable of that, but did you ever think of not only emulating a single device, but a whole pc?
There're numerous programs available, mostly as trials, too. If your programs don't need much cpu power, this would be a solution, wouldn't it?
In most pc emulator, you've - of course, because it makes perfectly sense - a floppy image system.

Writing Virtual Drive programs
Hello there !
I've been usin DAEMON Tools for a while succesfully. Recently, I encountered a problem of needing a floppy disk drive, and as I have none installed on my machine (I use USB memory modules), I failed to proceed in the task specified.
If anyone here has any knowledge on HOW a program that emulates a drive works, I would be pleased to receive information. I am interested in writing a floppy disk drive emulator that would possibly operate on a specified directory (files written to the disk end up in the specified directory), and possibly support diskette images.
Can anyone point me to the correct direction ?Tags: None
