Thank you to all that replied. I guess I was wrong and it can be done. Bu t if done, it is done poorly. I'll do some reseach on Bochs(?) and report to my management with what yo u said and what I found out. thanks Mace

Each virtual machine running a Intel processor emulator and a copy of Windows consumes approximately 180-220 zSeries MIPS to emulate a 200-210 Mhz Pentium II-class CPU idling at the desktop. No applications, just desktop. More fun: as a last hurrah for our faithful MP3000-H70, I fired that
