I have zero problem reproducing your problem! This is FDT2411 on VirtualBox. When I created the 1.44Mb floppy, I accepted the default of having FAT12 formatted. I copied the testcol.c file made by Jim... A: copy d:testcol.c wcl testcol.c ... Code size: 97    wlink @__wcl__.link ... line 1 dire

Hi, I just want to point out a few things that you may or may not already know. First, do not every mount the diskette on the host system when it is still attached to the virtual machine. Personally, I have forgotten to disconnect a diskette or hard disk image from VirtualBox and opened it on
