Describe the issue
Upon reading the documentation on QEMU website, -fda/fdb is deprecated, so the way to go now is:

-drive file=file,index=0,if=floppy

But when I use UTM's gui to mount it, the command is mounted a bit different:
Screen_Shot_2022-09-01_at_2 50 39_PM

hence none of my images are being read from a floppy drive and DOS fails to read it (FAIL ON INT24). These images were checked and have no issues loading on other emulators such as 86box and DOSBox.

When I used the command above from the QEMU documentation, a simple MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk was read:

-drive file=Disks/dos622.img,index=0,if=floppy

Which mounts it on drive A. For drive B, you just use index=1

Just mounted the floppy the way I described on both vanilla QEMU and UTM (manually adding the parameter), booted DOS and ran a dir a:. The contents of the floppy were listed.

The issue is present even when I used a Windows 98 SE virtual machine. Windows couldn't read the data, saying the drive was inacessible.

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.0.2 Beta
  • macOS Version: macOS Monterey 12.5.1
  • Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): MacBook Air M1 16GB/512GB (2020)
