I just download the Latest version of VirtualBox v7.1.2 on macOS.

After years and many major versions, they changed some stuff in the virtual 
BIOS. V8Power Tools does not identify the new version as VirtualBox and a 
simple an i686 or better. V8Power Tools is going to need a minor update. 
Nothing major. But, I don’t think I will get to it today. 

However after performing an install into a newly created virtual machine using 
all default settings (except 128mb RAM and 1.5Gb HDD), the install worked fine. 
It did not start networking because it was not identified as being installed in 
VirtualBox. It printed the message “physical networking not supported at this 
time”

But, running “fdnet try” brought up networking without an issue. I was then 
able to use mTCP’s ping to test the connection. All seemed fine. 

I may or may not find the time to update VINFO for the new VirtualBox before 
T2410.

:-)
