The easiest case is to have a bootdisk with UIDE on it, and present it to the VirtualBox people as "hey this completes in under 7 seconds on all hardware platforms and every popular emulator, except yours". Actually, an autoexec.bat like this should do fine: @ECHO OFF RUNTIME DEVLOAD UIDE.SYS /S5 /H /D:CDROMDRV with a corresponding config.sys of: DEVICE=XMGR.SYS /PA (the /PA is optional but seems to be more stable for A20 on anything Syslinux/Memdisk related, especially in VMs) Simply run the bootdisk under various hardware environments and write down the reported time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
