Here are two links for emulators: * Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx
* VMWare server (free) http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ However, since you will be using FreeDOS to test hardware, you don't want to run an emulator. The host OS (Vista) will be presenting the PCMCIA hardware to you, so if 1/100 will crash the OS, you'll crash the host OS (Vista) before you crash the guest OS (FreeDOS). Really, you do want to run FreeDOS using dual-boot. Back to the start, I guess. Use one of the boot managers I pointed to in my other email to you. That's probably the easiest way to do it. -jh On 8/6/07, Alex Horvath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, > > I noticed that it goes to a C: drive when I say return to command prompt > and there are no files in C: so it's doing what it's supposed to. > > Can you point me to some info on emulators? > > FYI, what we are trying to do is make a dedicated test computer for > production test of PCMCIA cards.
