It's not really that strange. EMS is rarely used nowadays, and DOS (in all its billions of setups) isn't highly tested by emulators. Their focus is on other, more popular, guests. It's impossible (or maybe unprofitable) to test every emulator under the sun (dozens!), plus having to work around all the bugs and missing features. Some OSes present bigger problems than others (OS/2, OpenBSD), even requiring VT-X compatible hardware. I would recommend you (also) test under QEMU if you're that worried or want (potentially) better stability. At least Windows (32-bit or 64-bit) binaries are easily available below (not to mention that QEMU runs on various other host OSes too, e.g. Linux): http://qemu.weilnetz.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attend Shape: An AT&T Tech Expo July 15-16.
