(i've done this under Freebsd2.0R) i've gotten pcemu to work, both the original binary distribution and with a recompile. if all's that you can find is a 1440k floppy (like me), and can't find a 720k floppy to use, create a .pcemurc file in the same directory as pcemu and add the line: boottype 144 as an occaisional cpu designer i'm very impressed with how functional this program is. but i'm not a dos user, so i've only tried a few things. i just wish that it was a 'pc486emu' program instead. -elh
