Just wondering. Is it possible to just create a 95/98 VHD, connect up an external 5.25" floppy drive and copy files this way? Not that I'll ever own an X68000 thanks to the exospheric shipping costs it would involve!
@stuffiwrote I tried using VMware Workstation, Oracle Virtualbox, MS Virtual PC... The problem is either in lack of OS support, or it just not working at all. The other issue is with finding an external 5.25 1.2MB FDD, and even if you rigged one up, xfloppy and omniflop both require the device to be on the local bus.
@McGameX Simple mis-speak. Can't say Windows 9x because ME will most likely work since it still uses the same file system. It will not work in an NTFS environment.
needed for does doujin game for sure

And I tested it on ME, it does work, when it doesn't give me a Blue Screen :)

Well 9x is a kernel. Windows ME uses the 9x kernel, so you technically CAN consider Windows ME to be a Windows 9x OS.

FAT32 OS? i think you mean a 9x Windows OS, as FAT32 is a file system :)

@robivy64 lol, I see what you mean, although I've always grouped ME in with 9x since they all use the same type of kernel.
