The same image I can successfully mount with -cdrom cannot be mounted with either -hdb or -hdd, What's up there. I could not figure out from the manuals if these should just be dd'ed images a directory or iso? 2) Are floppy images restricted to exactly 1.44MB created with dd? I cannot mount anything with the floppy switches either which is probably a size constraint I dont meet. 3) Since USB is seemingly working, what would the command be to activate the usb driver ? -usb Intel SB82371 or -usb SB82371 ? 4) What is the attainable USB speed? Full USB-1 ? 5) Are the serial and parallel ports running at native speed without delays? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Emulated hardware and supported Guest OS-es The QEMU Virtual Machine emulates a set of hardware components that is independent of the real hardware on which it is running. Since Slackware runs on x86 architecture, I will limit myself to a list of emulated hardware available to Slack (other emulated architectures may have other hardware peripherals available to the Guest OS). * IDE-Controller supporting up to 4 drives (the drives are disk images on the host computer * IDE CDROM device (in the form of a CD ISO image, or a real CDROM device) * Floppy disk controller supporting up to 2 drives (floppy disk images) * Graphics card (either a Cirrus Logic GD5446 PCI, or VGA-VESA) * PS/2 Mouse * Ethernet network card (Realtek RTL8139 PCI or NE2000 PCI) * A serial port (COM 1) * A parallel port (LPT 1) * Soundcard (Soundblaster 16 and/or ES1370) * A USB-UHCI host controller (the Intel SB82371) The list of Operating Systems that run inside QEMU is quite long. Here is an unofficial list of supported Guest OS-es. I have run various Linuxes (for x68 and x86_64) and Windows 98/2000/XP inside QEMU. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
