I've been using the non-blocking IO / DMA patch with a FreeBSD host and Windows 98 guest. It seems to work well -- I haven't done any benchmarking, but subjectively it seems to make a difference.
However, I tried enabling DMA in the Windows 98 system settings for the C: drive, and that doesn't work -- when I reboot the emulator, it stalls fairly early in the boot process. Have others been able to get DMA working (with the patch) with Windows 98? Is there something I could to try to track down the problem (assuming it is supposed to work). _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
