Virtual PC
(1/1)
Wendy Krieger:
EComStation had identified support for VPC. I wish they would do the same for ArcoOS.
Martin Iturbide:
Hi Wendy
I haven't used Virtual PC in years, I use VirtualBox today for running ArcaOS as a Guest.
What do you mean with "identified support"? Is it like the guest add-ons functionality?
Regards
Wendy Krieger:
Like it is done with VirtualBox, ie, include (Virtual PC) as a hint beside each of the various drivers.
I run OS/2 in vpc 2007 under vista 6.1, mainly to do things like test installs etc. Operating systems are to me a kind of game, so one might go off and play 'pc-dos 6.30' or something.

Hi Wendy
My issue with VirtualPC is that it got bought by Microsoft, they removed the easy access to the floppy drive and also got discontinued. I switched to VirtualBox because it is open source and OS/2 also works fine with it. We also have the guest addons to make it easy to switch the mouse from guest to host and file sharing between guest and host.
Regards
