Hello! According to my information, it was something called BOCHS that Adam had built in an appropriate distribution running on one of their many systems. And then installed inside it an appropriate release of Windows. The returned speed, if you can call it that, was so slow it would take days to accomplish anything.
There are as it happens success stories of people using that emulator to run anything X86 on anything else, but Adam did it for fun. And I would agree with Mark regarding that stuff. I routinely use it when I need to test an application that boots from floppy but probably not on any of my other machines. Oh and Mark, the good people at Slackware have finally released version 12.0 of their excellent distribution, and this contains a 2.6 series one as its standard one. (It seems the UMSDOS file system is gone for good.) -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Force will be with you. Always."
