Hi!
I would like to make my and others lives easer when it comes to transfer files in and out of my emulators guest environment.
There are at this point several ways to do this but none of them are very convenient. Preferably I would like to be able to mount a virtual drive in DOS that maps to a folder on my host system.
My first idea was to write a "small" TSR program that just wrapped the DOS IO API functions. The problem with this is that the API is quite big and the concept of default devices makes it more complicated.
I then considered using the network and create some kind of network share and having a built in server in the emulator. This is also quite complicated. 🙁
Has any one else done something like this in there own emulator? If so which approach did you take? and what where the prose and cons from your perspective?
Thanks
