I have used it with MS DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS.
Will send it later today or this week. It is on a computer here with 
failed IDE controller.

Since I want to keep compiling for glibc 2.2.5, I would either need a way 
to put both 2.2.5 and SW9.X glibc on the computer and specify to qemu to 
use the latter, or set up another small partition with BL3 just for 
running qemu in and chroot to it, or set up SW9 or 10 in my fourth and 
last partition and chroot to it, or is there another way?


We have a 40GB drive with unlimited extended partitions to play in on this 
laptop computer.
