Neat. A bit less useful than the optical disc mounting drivers, but yeah probably a few installers out there which are picky about running from A: and aren't otherwise just copy/unzip utilities. Some kind of hotkey to swap disks would make this a bit more useful for software like that, and needing the whole image in memory is a bit of a bummer. 1.44MB is quite a bit for DOS-era PCs.

Thanks for video. Happy Christmas..
Really nice, i have used fakedisk before but not for a while. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Thanks for the video. Im 45 and an avid vintage gamer (and have been since the machines and games were new). Ive never heard of fakedisk. Wow! Thanks!
Reminds me a bit of how you can mount .iso files in Windows, though I guess this one has a couple flaws. Incredibly smart though!
fakedisk is nice but IIRC doesn't work on 808x systems. For those, I use SHFDRV86 instead.
@ nice hint, didn‘t know this one.
I willk have a look at it!
