Why wouldn't it work? Well, the NEC PC98 reads and writes 1,2MB Floppy Disks, so you will have to format the disks accordingly and not all drives support this. Fortunately someone was selling a drive made by NEC themselves in 2003, the NEC UF0002, and while this does not show up on any compatibility lists I figured this just has to work, and it does! ★ Formatting Floppy Disks ★ I picked up the first pack of floppies I could find on amazon and checked out our local craigslist competitor for a used disk drive. Of course the next thing to look into after turning on my PC98 Note and playing around with it for a while was writing disk images and transferring files. Then you can open the floppy and hard drive and copy files using drag and drop.A lot of this information comes from this post from Lainblog, so please check it out as well if you are interested in writing PC98 Floppies! Configure a hard drive in the Disk Manager window and only insert your floppy disk image in the drive after the emulator has booted to the GEM graphical user interface. It will also work for Atari ST disk images with Steem, including for STX ( Pasti - Atari ST Imaging & Preservation Tools) and STT ( Steem) disk images. However you need a working Amiga OS installation to boot from the hard drive and a file manager program to perform the copy. You need to use the 'Add Directory' command and not 'Add Hardfile' (that would use a hard disk image file which is just what you don't want).
This method works fine for Amiga disk images with WinUAE, including for IPF ( Software Preservation Society (SPS, ex CAPS)) disk images. This method will work for all disk image formats supported by the emulator.
In this way, copying files from a floppy disk to a hard drive inside the emulator will put the files directly in your PC hard drive. This virtual hard drive will in fact map to a folder on your real PC hard drive. Use an emulator and configure a virtual hard drive inside emulation.This CD-ROM emulator allows you to mount CD images and copy files directly in Windows Explorer.
