Setup & Installation / Re: RPM packager

YUM is a collection of python scripts. Unfortunately Python under OS/2 is not very friendly and usable. So, why not simply using RPM commands from REXX procedures.

USB / Re: USB to Parallel Bridge

From my experience:
All that USB-Parallel-Adapters are crap. Better using an internal or external Printerserver for such purposes, it's also true for Windows NT, 2000, XP systems.
I recommend HP JetDirect or Emulex NetJet. Both have internal and external models for ethernet or token-ring.

Virtual Hardware behaves similar to real hardware, so to improve processing and i/o you could use SCSI in favour of IDE/ATAPI for the emulated host bus adapter. VirtualBox supports emulated LSI Logic and BusLogic SCSI  adapters. By using VMDK you could even connect to physical disks or partitions.

I'm curious about the configuration of your virtual machine for virtual box.
With some tuning some better results may be possible.
