I've used Soft-ICE extensively. It's the only thing I've tried that
has let me debug TSRs, device drivers, and ROM BIOS bugs. The latest
version is very similar to CodeView in terms of interface, though it
doesn't support the mouse. The source level debugging and reading of
debug info from the .EXE are really nice.

I haven't used BoundsChecker yet so I can't comment on it.

The biggest hassle about Soft-ICE is that I can't use other 386 Control
Programs like QEMM-386 and some disk cache and RAM disk programs don't
co-exist in extended memory correctly when Soft-ICE is loaded. The
programs which use expanded memory do seem to work and Soft-ICE includes
a built-in EMS emulator.
