I've not tried with VMware, for the simple reason that I don't have a 
copy. DOS+ is fussy by today's standards. I had to create & format a 
32MB FAT16 hard drive for it, using MS-DOS, then I believe I booted from 
an "illegal" 360KB 3.5" floppy I copied from an Amstrad 5.25" disk by a 
bit of creative fiddling with the MS-DOS DRIVPARM and DRIVER.SYS 
commands. It was handy to be able to archive 5.25" floppies onto 3.5£ 
media as the older format started to become scarce.

Any road up, I'll dig up a floppy. DR-DOS DiskCopy disk image OK, or do 
you have a preferred format?
