I originally was creating a new hard drive image. (Actually, I was just copying one I already had, but same result.) Plus in other tests before I did the original post, I sometimes unpartitioned and repartitioned, reformatted, etc. A variety. Later, when I did the retests with bochs vs qemu,

I just wonder about 1 thing: In every test - have you created a new hard drive image prior to running QEMU? I would suggest creating new hard drive images before using QEMU and use this new hard drive image for each test. Also, my guess is that some of your floppy images are actually a compressed

I've been trying to install various old versions of DOS under Window's v0.70 of qemu from FreeOSZoo. And since so few people appear to be using the Windows version, I've been making a point to do as much testing as I can, with as wide a variety of operating systems as I can find. >From version
