Q-Soft for the Tyco QSP-2 installs to MS-DOS 5.22 and is a real time system on

That sounds exotic, but still your BIOS has a menu item
where you can enable an on-board hardware floppy controller.

obscure Chinese brand were still making them.

I have freedos running as a virtual machine in virtualbox. I am running mac os
x 10.7 lion as my guest operating system.
I have a usb floppy drive that my mac recognizes. I am wondering if i can
