Tried to run some old games directly from the floppy disks on my Android tablet.
It worked :)

Used a USB floppy disk drive, a powered USB hub and a wireless Keyboard..
DOSBox for Android was used to load the game.

    Valeu @Niccolatorres :) penso que o USB host só é suportado a partir da versão 3 do Android (honeycomb).. eu agora tou correndo o kernel 2.6.36.3 com o honeycomb 3.2 (rooted) mas na altura do vídeo estava com o kernel original com o 3.1

    What usb drive did you use? Can you access files through a file manager instead of using DosBox?

    Great video!
