Subject: ✅ [RESOURCE] Found a reliable way to run Melsec Medoc 24 (DOS) on modern Windows – No Floppy Drive Needed!
Body:
Hi everyone,
Like many of you maintaining legacy Mitsubishi sites, I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to get Melsec Medoc 24 up and running on a modern laptop. We all know the pain: the installer is a zip file full of .exe files that refuses to run on Windows 10/11, or worse, you have the software but no USB-to-Floppy drive to transfer the key files.
I recently had to connect to an old Mitsubishi FX0S that still had the original Medoc comments stored in the PLC, and GX Developer just wouldn't read them correctly.
After some digging and trial and error, I finally found a setup that works much better than struggling with compatibility settings or keeping a Windows 95 laptop on life support. Once you have found a trustworthy source, here

If “better” means more reliable and faster than MEDOC 24 itself, consider:
| Tool | Target PLCs | Download Speed | Reliability | |------|-------------|----------------|--------------| | GX Works 2 (via FX Configurator mode) | F, F1, F2 (limited) | 19200 baud | High (USB native) | | WindLDR (for F-series via third-party) | F, F1, FX0 | 9600 baud | Medium | | MEDOC to CSV → GX Works 2 conversion | Any | N/A (offline) | Highest | 5% success rate.
Note: MEDOC 24 cannot be “sped up” internally beyond 9600 baud – that is the PLC’s hardware limit.
