I noticed that it emulated an 80286, so we hunted around and got a copy of SCO Xenix/286 and installed that under SoftPC, running under SunOS. Aaaaaargh. Now i almost want to run TME or qemu to run SunOS and repeat this setup. ;) Do it, do it! It's good for the soul. I had difficulty getting TME to build on OS X so I'd need to run TME in a linux VM or something even crazier. I also couldn't get anything older than solaris 7 to run in QEMU. :( -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
