    It's been a while since I've used MenuetOS, very nice but the OS is going the way of the dinosaur really fast since who still has a floppy drive, they don't come with most new computers now-a-days, and it's hardly worth spending the money for one just for MenuetOS.
    So a bit of a rethink is needed.

    The MAZZTer, are you rating Virtual PC, and QEMU, or Menuet?

    This is quite simply a fantastic example of what can be accomplished with highly-optimized and efficient assembly coding.

    I've been following the progress of this OS for a while, and it still amazes me what it is able to do for such a small size.

    The 64-bit version is available on the author's site, as well as a CD that can be ordered which contains additional 64-bit applications.

    Fantastic OS; I actually had a dream for building a very functional floppy-disk-sized operating system, but it appears that someone beat me to it!

    Really cool; of all other OS's of it's size, this takes the cake.

    CarlK, I used RawWrite to put the image on a floppy, it's the best app I know of for this purpose.

    1.Too BIG for a floppy. 2.How to use an .IMG file? 3.Can't rate yet, but our IT guy told me about it!

    allsiante & oubeaver found file size problem.
    My PowerDesk Filmanager says the M32-084.IMG is 1,474,560 B. And an empty floppy is 1,457,664 B.
    So close.

    I have never used an image file. They are sector- by - sector copies using the disk controller/BIOS?

    Anyone used Winimage or alcohol 120 to read or write an .IMG?
