I'll dig it out. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qemu I've just installed the amnhltm vxd for MS Win9x on my MS Win9x guestOS. http://www.user.cityline.ru/~maxamn/amnhltm.zip
Usage down to 9% the instant I start it up after installing it.

I think I forgot something here - it should be possible to 'mount [image file name] /mnt/point -t vfat -o loop=/dev/loop[whatever], blocksize=1024' or so. I don't think you can do it from inside the guestOS, or at least not at this stage in proceedings. > > > I have got the MS Word 97 viewer program to work.

Been complaints on it stalling when actually booting, as opposed to installing. Needs a bit more work I'd guess.
