Connecting Colorado 250MB tape drive

[ChadC9]

I am running VMWare Player 15 on a Windows 10 and have a guest Windows 95 machine on VMWare.  I would like to access a couple of DC2120 QIC-80 tapes through a Colorado 250MB is it possible to access the Colorado 250MB in the Windows 95 guest machine with the addition of a floppy drive in the hardware settings? If it is what would I have to do?

Thanks,

CC

Hi,

Maybe..

How does that Colorado 250 MB tape drive connect to the machine? Is it via a floppy drive connector?

Does your host have a floppy drive connector on the motherboard?

FWIW, you cannot passthrough PCI / PCIe cards to the guest OS.

You can however connect to a physical floppy drive. If that is sufficient for getting your tape drive to work.. I have no idea.
