There is an official standard for a 2.88MB floppy, which DOS supports. Note that 1.44MB floppies, while the most common floppy size before they died out, isn't the biggest standard floppy size. And as OS X can mount the image, you can drag and drop whatever you want on the diskette to the image. img file from both within OS X and within any VM that can read FAT-12 formatted diskettes (which is virtually all of them - DOS, OS/2, Linux, Windows, BeOS, Solaris, etc.). With that step out of the way, you can mount the. Which should result in something like the following:Ģ,847 allocation units available on disk. Formatting accomplishes this for you, so once you have the image mounted in your DOS VM, you need to run the following: It doesn't add in any of the filesystem structures needed to track filenames, or which sectors of the disk belong to which files.

Creating the image from /dev/zero only creates a ~1.44MB file full of zeros.

Part of what you were missing is that once you create the diskette image, you still need to format it. Contrary to what has told you, you don't need to rename floppy images to end in '.flp' for them to work in Fusion.
