Why don't you try it and find out? The vast majority of 32-bit Windows software will still run on 64-bit Windows unless it requires specialized drivers (i.e. like Virtual Floppy Drive). RawWrite can read and write a floppy image, but how to create an image file of the floppy diskette since its …

Perhaps you should start a new thread if you have new questions? This is completely unrelated to your original query. I like to use Rawwrite. http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite Winimage is another popular program, but it is shareware. Thank you, Jorpho, but this software is for up to Win XP 32-bit. …

Yes, there is in fact a program called Virtual Floppy Drive. http://vfd.sourceforge.net/ I emphasize that this will not help you run EPSDISK in Windows 7x64. No, I mean in Windows 7 x86 on my netbook. Going to read about Virtual Floppy Drive now... I hope, if EPSDISK can work with Virtual Floppy …

On my netbook I can run EPSDISK.EXE because of 32-bit Windows 7 (not x64). In this case, is there a way to make EPSDISK (via DOSBox ot other program) do successfully its commands to a virtual floppy drive (floppy image/emulator created on the hard drive, etc.)? I'm sorry, I don't have any idea if …

Plamy, why don't you get yourself a good ol' laptop from you local waste disposal site ? They're cheap and all you have do is to make sure it has a good floppy drive. Then you can program your synthesizer anytime and in any place. :) Just a question: since I have also a netbook Lenovo Ideapad S10e, …

Do you think if there is a chance to boot to DOS in a virtual drive (like VirtualBox, VMWare, etc.) with access to the floppy? Actually no need my NTFS drives to be accessed since I can use the floppy diskettes. No problem to use second floppy diskette if I keep the PC without booting every time. …

Does NTFS4DOS work on Windows 7 (x64)? If it works under boot DOS, no reason to use it since I get EPSDISK successful now. What I meant is if there is a program or a way to run any DOS program on Windows 7, so that I can do what I need without booting the PC every time. Some people talk about VM …

5. Copy the files from the second floppy disk to the "drive K:" RAM drive created by "win98bootdisk" This idea was in my mind in theory, but I just don't know how to copy the files to the K: Maybe there is a DOS command for that, but since I don't have a knowledge about DOS at all, I don't know how …

I should probably also note that I removed that XMS RAM disk from config.sys, even though it should be self-evident: Files can now be transfered to the EPSdisk "hard drive" by a simple Drag'n'Drop. So there's no need to use a virtual drive anymore, because "A:" is always free. Would you explain …

EPSDISK.EXE works perfectly in Windows 98, that's why someone has created "win98bootdisk" with EPSDISK.EXE inside. But no any guide about how to use EPSDISK.EXE after the PC is booted in Win98 (as a Virtual RAM disk). Let's be clear: when you boot off the disk created with "win98bootdisk", you are …

If you don't have such a diskette, just use an HD (high density) diskette and put a scotch tape on the right hole. Once Directory at block is 1, then (F)ormat it. And then try to …

DId you try to copy the .gkh file or to write the .efe file to a newly formatted diskette with EPSDISK.EXE? For example (T)ype - 1 (DD), then (F)ormat. Then (C)opy .gkh or (W)rite .efe? If you really did it, then what do you get after (D)irectory command?

Or must be more than 512MB? And is there a difference if I use a USB memory stick instead on SD card? In the both …
