Floppy setting
Use this setting to control the behavior of the emulated floppy drive
in the virtual machine.
6-5
The available options are:
Allow booting from floppy —select this option to allow the virtual
machine to attempt to boot from a floppy inserted in the floppy drive
or a floppy disk image mounted on the virtual machine.
Automatically detect floppy —select this option to allow the virtual
machine to search for a real floppy disk in the host PC at the time that
the virtual machine OS accesses the emulated floppy drive. (If no
floppy disk is inserted on the host PC, you may hear a distinctive
sound from the host PC.) With this feature disabled, you can still cap-
ture real floppy disks from the host PC to the virtual machine using
the shortcut menu for the Floppy icon on the VPC Toolbar.
