There is and you don’t need anything special. Basically, when you create the VM in VirtualBox or other system. You must pick VMDK and DO NOT SPLIT and PRE-ALLOCATE disk space. Your VM will create two files. One really small one called something.vmdk and another big one called something-flat.vmdk. Once that is done, shutdown VirtualBox. Open Finder and rename something-flat.vmdk to something-flat.img. The something.vmdk is just a text configuration file. Open it in your favorite editor and change the entry for something-flat.vmdk and change the extension to .img. Then your all set. VirtualBox will use the renamed file and when it is not running you can double click the img file in finder to mount it. Not hard to do. Just need to pick the correct settings when creating the VM, rename a file and change the config file. > > I remember I tried doing assembly development using nasm in DOSBox but when I > compiled it would crash DOSBox so I gave up on it.

Although for larger things or when I’m in a hurry, I just use NASM on the Mac then run the executable in DOSBox. NASM for the mac is fairly fast. NASM for DOS is very slow. :-) Jerome
