Semi-OT: Virtual PC 7 on Mac OS X

21 Oct 2004

...
    I'm not sure about VPC7, but M$VPC 2004 (Winders)
supports:
 MS-DOS
 Win95/98/ME/
 NT workstation / 2K / XP
 OS/2
 NT Server / 2K Server / 2K3 Server

 ... and the ubiquitous ...
 "Other" 
By supports, are these what it specifically *claims* to support?  
 If you mean you can select each of those through a drop-down box, yes. The 
 install also includes a "Virtual Machines Additions" which gives MS OSs 
 extra functionality in the emulator, and this includes MS-DOS. It even 
 gives the emulator access to a USB floppy drive invisibly, although in a 
 Win98SE dosbox doing a "diskcopy a: a:" didn't work correctly, prolly a 
 timing issue.

 Also, as I mentioned above, this is a Winders environment, so I'm sure M$ 
 doesn't work nearly as hard on the Mac side of the pond... 
Rats!  You've definitely got it better than us Mac users then!  Nothing
happens when I try to install the "Virtual Machines Additions" on MS-DOS (I
tried that last night).  OTOH, I can use my old USB floppy drive without any
problem, and that is how I installed MS-DOS.
