Windows 95 under Windows 2000

Here's my second strange and spur of the moment question for the day...

Is it possible to run windows 95 under windows 2000? See, my problem is this... I've got an older conner tape drive which connects to the floppy. Windows 2000 doesn't see this as a tape drive, and there don't seem to be any drivers to fix this problem, from conner, or microsoft. I have drivers and software and have used the drive fine under windows 95, but I don't want to have to boot windows 95 seperately to use the tape drive.

Does anyone know if there is software that will do this? I mean, there's software to run windows under linux, why not windows under windows? 🙂
 
maybe you could try to get some DOS drivers and then use your autoexec.bat and config.sys to load the drivers and use the drive in a DOS prompt. if not then buy a new tape drive?
 
well, i have a program called VMWARE. it basically let's you boot up ANY OS from within win2k (linux, win95, etc.)

it's freaky. you turn it "on" and you literally see your BIOS screen pop up and a completely different OS load in a little window.
