Ok, and VMWare 4.0.2 also doesn't want to let me use a .flp floppy disk
image - here's the image file in case you want to test/try it out for me:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13327195/hobbit.iso.flp
The two files inside that are Hobbit.dat and Hobbit.com, and like said, in
windows XP virtual machine, can browse the virtual floppy alright, but,
under either VMWare version, when using the dos/win3.1 image, both versions
just tell me that there's no disk in either/any floppy drives/ddevices, etc.
And, saw that the option for sharing virtual network share paths is listed
under VMWare player 4.0.2, but, disabled, and also saw in windows 3.1
control panel that it doesn't seem to have any network adapters installed -
not sure what actual hardware the virtual device could match, and/or how I
would install drivers if can't pass data/files on to this image...<smile>
Wonder if there's not a way to access/work with the VMWare virtual file
system externally/prior to booting up VMWare image? Will have to look around
for that, but, chances are you'd need to have the paid for VMWare software
installed.
Stay well

Ok, and tested floppy image with same newish version of VMWare player, but
through my windows XP VMWare image, and could read/copy files with no
issue, so am guessing that it must be something like a drive letter issue,
or file system incompatibility - will double check all BFI command line
options again, in case it's defaulting to something like fat32, etc.

I just do it like this
bfi -f=c:\myfloppy.flp c:\games
makes a floppy image of all files in the games folder.

As in - sorry for multiple posts - used following bfi command:
bfi -t=144 -f=hobbit.flp src
And, had the two files for image in src sub-directory - hobbit.com and
hobbit.dat - and if I then use 7zip to extract contents of hobbit.flp,
they are there/do show up.

Oh yes, and what floppy disk image format did you choose? 144, 360?

Ok, created the .flp image of the original hobbit game's files, but,
if I either try mount it to the already included floppy disk piece of
virtual hardware, or try create another one inside virtual machine, it
keeps telling me disk/drive not ready from command line when virtual
machine is running..?
Do you just reassign the already included floppy disk to use that
image file, do you tell it to connect at power up, or do you map it
into virtual machine another way?
TIA

first I used a free command line program called BFI floppy to turn it
into a floppy disk image file. I mounted it in the virtual machine
and it showed up as an a: drive then in dos with asap I typed
copy a:\island.exe c:\
and it coppied over into the vmware hard drive file system.
