Chalk this up as another utility that could be useful at certain times … like with DOSBox.
When would one need the use anymore for a floppy drive? Maybe for an old driver disk that only “extracts to a floppy disk”, or maybe for that old decrepit game otherwise known as abandonware that’s still worth playing! Anyways, most computer don’t come with a floppy drive anymore, nor should they. CD Writers and USB Flash Drives are the new de-facto way to move your stuff around, as wel they should be.
BUT, should you have a program that at least wants to act like a floppy drive is there for compatibility reasons, or if you want to make a image file for one of those old emulators. Go HERE. It’s a link to VMBack, a virtual floppy drive program so you can manipulate floppy disk images as if it was a disk in the drive. It’s Daemon Tools for the 3-1/2″ world.
