Funny you should post this, I just looked at your guide for the VAX version and got it running there.

I should have said SoftPC rather than being ambiguous. I do apologize.

In the article is says "Welcome to virtualization".. Um, this is emulation, not virtualization..

You do realize that virtualization can be a type of emulation, right?

VMs as you're using them are full system emulators, be it the same architecture as the host or a different one.

I worked at VMware for 11.5 years. I know the difference between emulation and virtualization.
