Yeah, I would prefer that too, but all I need is an x2200m2 and what is offered as emulation is way more powerful and not my problem. My x2200 has been going for 10 years flawlessly until they moved it and there you go. I also look forward to having the vm snap on my workstation for playing and just moving the vm on to the main frame as needed.
