VMWare can be kinda icky with floppies. Have you recompiled your kernel lately? Anytime you recompile your kernel you'll have to run vmware-setup.pl after rebooting to recompile the VMWare modules for your new kernel. Try making an image of on of the floppies (dd if=/dev/fd0 of=flopp1.bin) and setting up that image as a floppy (Type = file instead of Device) If the floppy was mounted before you powered on your VM, the floppy device will be "disconnected" in VMWare. First things to come to mind... -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055
