Virtually Fun

Fun with Virtualization

A friend (Hi Frank!) gave me this link to a project page which has all kinds of X software built for MS-DOS.

For the 2 or 3 people in the world still running MS-DOS.

Interesting, I even remember DesQview/X. Perhaps time to tig it out again ad see if it will run in Qemu.

  Indeed it does! Although it really was a lot of work to setup. Much like machines of the time were a big deal to get something like Desqview/X working correctly.

SkyOS seemed cool but I could never get it working in VMWare or VirtualBox.

It’d probably work in QEMU…
