You can add one or two floppy drives to the virtual machine with the following procedure:
A floppy drive can only be used by the host operating system or one virtual machine at a time. If you run more than one virtual machine simultaneously, you may wish to select which one (if any) has access to the drive. To disable or enable access to a floppy drive while a virtual machine is running, use the Devices menu. You may also use the VMware Tools running in the guest operating system (if it has been installed). The initial connectivity of the drive (enabled or disabled) for a virtual machine is determined by the state of the Start Connected checkbox in the floppy drive configuration panel. The VMware Tools may be downloaded from the VMware Web site.
