dunno. i can't think of any reason you'd need a floppy emulator. within the the windows enviorment, cd or downloads would take the floppy place.

a floppy emulator wouldn't do anything in DOS or pre windows boot.

Some hard drive manufacturers still like to put their utilities on floppy images.

Of course, you could always just run the setup program, look in the TEMP folder for the 1.4MB image file, and burn it to CD with Nero. Or open up the image with WinImage and manually copy the files out.

i own a program which validates through the use of a key disk. if you just copy the files, the validation doesn't work. winimage can create a working copy of the validation disk, but i wish the image could be "mountable" as a disk image. and the disk needs to be writable so the program can write it has 2 keys left instead of 3 so a cd is out. unfortunately, my laptop doesn't have a floppy. i guess a usb floppy would work, but i only need it for this one program, once. ..
