I'm updating it soon to 0.8.2. You can easily fetch and build the current version yourself from http://www.qemu.com/qemu-0.8.2.tar.gz . A recent release should add support for vvfat (virtual-VFAT), as developed by Johannes Schindelin. Though I didn't test it myself, only read about it. It's goal seems to be, to take a UNIX directory, specify it on the qemu cmd line, and then to mount it from inside under DOS up to Win9x's MS-DOS 7.00, 7.10, 7.10a and WinME's MS-DOS8.00 as virtual vfat (vfat suggests longer than 8.3 names, but not sure). Never tried it, but sounds promising. >But ... i cannot understand either how to copy my own files in any .img (a.img >from Bochs or the main freedos.img) nor how to access to my real floppy >(/dev/fd/0, right ?). > > The classic way: Think of QEMU as of a real PC. How can you get files in or out?? Right: Floppy (image or physical), CD/DVD (img or physical), hdd (img or physical), or network (virtual NE2000 is "plugged into" qemu), or maybe even USB. Either use raw devices like your host's /dev/fd0 for diskette. Or burn a CD if you find it easier, insert it into one of your host's drives and specify it as "qemu -m 512m -k us-en -cdrom /dev/rdisk/c5t0d0s2 -fda /dev/fd0 /boot a" (for example / if vold is disabled), to boot from floppy and have the cdrom attached. You need then - of course - some compatible cdrom-driver for DOS as well as mscdex.exe in your MS-DOS startup files. Try a Win98se boot floppy from www.bootdisk.com and friends. Or, to not waste time and a CD medium, just create an iso of a chosen directory with the grand mkisofs. For example: mkisofs -o cd.iso cd_dir (see the mkisofs man page!). You might be better advised to directly ask the QEMU user service/forum. Or maybe their Developers-ML for devel. questions. Unfortunately is www.qemu.com currently down. So I cannot provide you exact links. However: Be sure to read the full QEMU documentation. Helping out will be a tough job otherwise. Plus did you read "qemu --help" ? This is a bit OT and we might get trouble if we stay on the opensol-discuss list for that topic. Please contact me in private if you experience further difficulties.
