Hi All,
Who do I talk to for information to use eCS as a host for virtualbox. I know that we have the ports from Paul from a long time ago (I appreciated GREATLY all that Paul does!). I do not need the latest and greatest. I do not need serial / parallel / usb. I need multiple guest capabilities to run at least two WinXP/7 sessions. I need to use nearly 3 gig of RAM for those sessions. And of course I need it to be stable.
I am trying to develop my next small office server series for my professional client base. I want eCS to be my host. I wanted Samba/2 to be my file server but I can not make it run stable enough for my expected commercial implementation. Therefore, all I can do is run XP Pro / 7 Pro for the line of business apps that need the file server functionality.
I really do want to make this work! I want to again have an OS/2 - eCS based solution that I can offer to my commercial clients. eCS will at least have licensed seats and the revenue from such that will in turn support more development by Mensys.
I need a path forward!
Thank you,
-Todd

Hi Todd,
there was a restart of the OS/2 port virtualbox about one year ago, see http://svn.netlabs.org/vbox/attachment/wiki/WikiStart/vbox3.png
Then not much changes again so what we have is still this old stable 'innotek' version. Would be nice to have a newer build and some additional feature sets for the host.
These two websites/articles might be helpful for an eCS host:
