Does anyone know of any decent harddrive emulator for Win9x? I'm writing an OS kernel (just started) under Win95, and using BOCHS for debugging.. It's pain in the.. well, you know where.. to copy the kernel to a floppy, create an image for it, load BOCHS, copy it to the hard drive image and reload BOCHS every time I need to make any changes..
Well, otherwise I'll have to write a PDR driver for Win95 myself .. I've seen RAM98 (or smth. like that), but it crashes on load on my machine..

Get MTOOLS for Win32:
http://kos.enix.org/~d2/mtools-3.9.6-w32.tar.gz
or part of this Bochs distribution:
ftp://ftp.v.nu/Bochs/BochsWin32-991114a.zip

Then your debug cycle looks like this
1. make
2. mcopy mykernel.elf a:
3. bochs
4. goto 1

Thanks a lot for the links. It really helped =) .
