Do you actually have any of these installed and working? I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this moving forward. At a minimum, we should move it to its own thread -- and maybe it doesn't even belong in a FreeDOS thread. But I'm sure several people in here would be interested (I'm pretty sure at least Jim would be VERY interested). Just FYI, it doesn't seem possible to create a generic "I'm running in a VM of some sort" test. You need to test for each VM individually, and they all do different things that may or may not allow you to detect them. Of course, that means you need to know about every possible VM out there both now and in the future (and I've never even heard of some of those you mentioned above before now). I've got about six different methods I've found to detect various VMs (some through research on the Internet and some though experimentation). In some VMs several of the methods work and in other VMs none of them work (at least not reliably). In can also vary depending on whether you're using and old or new version of the VM. There are also cases where there is "cross-linking" between the VMs, especially in Linux. E.g., once you install KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) in Linux it seems to "infect" the other VMs so it's hard to tell them apart (they seem to look like KVM). If you actually have some of these installed and working, I can "tweak up" a version of ISLOADED so you can do some testing for me (that's what I've been working on for the last several days in my copious free time). Are you interested? _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
