Seems to have sped up quite a bit
by Moritz Barsnick - Jan 13th 1999 05:39:43
I had looked at bochs quite some time ago, and it was amazingly slow. I
checked out the 1999 version now, and it's sped up quite a bit. It used to
take almost an hour to boot ODDS, now it's down to a few
minutes (on a Sparc Ultra 5 running SunOS5.5.1). 1.18 BogoMIPS!
The real advantage is that it runs on non-x86 systems (unlike DOSemu)
where you can't just add another partition for a M$ OS.
And it emulates an i386 (instead of an i8086 like pcemu,
which is quite quick) and can therefore run more complex OSs than just DOS.
;-)
Oh, but it being $$-ware makes it suck bigtime, I must admit.

I am happy to report that as of the first quarter of
2000, Bochs is now under the LGPL license!

Physical Floppy Access
by elucidus - Feb 15th 2002 08:27:22
On Win32, to use a real floppy drive you need this:
floppya: 1_44=a:, status=inserted
line in your .bochsrc file.
You can also specify an image file to load as a virtual floppy.
floppya: 1_44=nameofimage.img, status=inserted
