Subject: Wanted: OS/2 version of Virtual PC
Several years ago there was a company called Connectix that made what is
now Microsoft Virtual PC. I would very much like to obtain a copy of the
version that ran on OS/2. This is needed for my networking project so I
can play with OS/2 LAN Manager running in emulation.
An ISO of the CD would be fine but I would be willing to pay modestly
for a complete package with any manuals, etc.
Please reply off list.
Thanks,
Jim
A friend of mine worked for Connectix, and I contacted him about
this. His response was:

Sorry, Mark. I do not know where to get a copy.
Connectix Virtual PC ran on
the Mac only, and it emulated MS DOS and Windows. I do not think
that Insignia
Solutions SoftPC and SoftWindows ran on OS/2. OS/2 like Windows NT
is supposed
to run its own emulation mode for DOS and legacy Windows applications. I
suspect that the poster really wants to run OS/2 on Virtual PC, SoftPC, or
SoftWindows. I do not think that any of the emulators will do that.
He wanted me to add the caveat that he is not 100% sure of his answer.
I hope this is helpful!
