Insert Diskette #2 Into Floppy Drive A: (Emulation)

The next thing I need to know how to do is to change floppy disks

i.e.,

I have prehistoric floppy disk drive images

I need to "Insert Disk #1 Into Floppy Drive A:"

After that, I need to "Eject Disk #1 And Insert Disk #2"

I may need to do this as many as four or maybe five times.

I believe that my drive images are the "Something.ISO" sort of files.

If this is already in the Wiki, please point me to it.

I did search there first. If it's there, I haven't yet figured out how to ask the search tool the properly worded question.

A CD-ROM image will be an ISO file. A floppy disk image will usually have an IMG extension.

Duh

I am wrong

You are right

Thanks

Still searching the Wiki and the "freedos-devel" lists to try to find out how to switch the floppy disk image; i.e., how to "Insert Disk #2 into Drive A:"

Boot with option 3 or 4, I forget which, but it works perfectly now

Sounds strange to me, but if that worked for you, then okay.

Thanks for your suggestion, but this is not how a/this forum works. Your topic might help others some day.
