The effect is that the user don't has to specify the interface type. Basically: -drive file=/path/to/file,if=sd can be replaced by -drive file=/path/to/file It means the user doesn't have to know the details of the machine to know how to attach a disk. Note that the user here can also be a script, which then becomes a bit simpler. > Also, won't vl.c now try to create a cdrom drive on the SD interface? > It still creates a cdrom drive as before, but still doesn't try to connect it to the SD interface. In short the behaviour on that side is unchanged. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
