So I picked up this old 386 multitasker on amazon called.. VM/386. I remember seeing ads on how awesome it was back in the day.
VM/386 diskettes
VM/386 1.2 splash screen
So much to my luck, I not only got 1.2 but 1.22! Even luckier all the disks read! However what ever magic they employed doesn’t work under any emulation … 😐
Sure it’ll load up, and let you do some options.. But this is all I get.
VM/386 in action
I’ve tried it on various Qemu levels, I’ve even used a real cirrus logic video ROM (from an ISA board, I’ll have to find a PCI cirrus logic ROM…) VMware, Virtual PC, and Virtual BOX.
Has anyone ever used this thing? I was under the impression it was multiuser as well as multitasking but it seems from what little I’ve been able to use that it’s only multi tasking…
Oh well I guess another sem-interesting update in MS-DOS multi-taskers.

And… I just got word of a copy of 2.0 and it’s being shipped.. 5 user version too!
