I don't think any cloud providers have drivers to make the contents available as a drive letter under DOS !
I have a Linux server, so it makes it easy for me to do NFS. It has Samba as well, but I didn't find any good software for mounting a SMB share under DOS, so being that I worked for Sun and had a copy of PC-NFS I went that route. Makes it very easy to share files.... when I want them accessible to the burner, I just scp them into place.
What wasn't easy was getting pcnfsd working on a modern Linux.... and I still don't have it playing with iptables and selinux.... (I just temporarily disable those when I use the rom burner).
I used to use LAN Manager for DOS back in the day. Was able to mount Samba shares via TCP/IP that way. Not sure if it would work with modern Samba, since the authentication back then was horribly insecure.
Seconded. Now if I or somebody else could figure out how to make custom device definitions it'd also make a pretty nifty device tester![]()
It would need more than a custom algorithm, I think. You've have to write new software to drive it and boot it off that disk instead of the normal one. Probably easier to start from scratch with a new design.
