  • ZoomFloppy Help

    From Charles Gutman@3:770/3 to All on Sunday, September 04, 2022 12:20:09
    I purchased a ZoomFloppy a couple of years ago and have since downloaded a few files that I'd like to use on my C64. Trouble is that I have been unsuccessful in every single attempt trying to install it on my Windows XP machine.
    So I have since given up on XP even though I love it so, and have now installed Windows 8 on my Sony Vaio Laptop.
    Will Zoomfloppy install on Windows 8?
    Thanks so much and it's great to be resurrected from the dead!

    i am using it under linux/mac os, so i guess it should work on newer windows machines!

    Yes, it should run fine under windows 8. I started with a Win8 Machine when I first got my ZoomFloppy, then moved to Win10 years later. So you should be alright.
