Well I got it compiled and running. But didn't run it actually.
Let me explain. I compiled it, inserted the module and run the GUI but since
I don't have a dos installation, I couldn't run it really. It showed the BIOS
screen and hung saying 'unbootable partition'.
I had posted the plex86 sources on my web site but later I removed it, for
KDE2 article. You better cvs it up from http://www.plex86.org.
But I can tell you a neat trick. Set the app. as setuid root and point the
config file to the dos partition i.e. say /dev/hda4. It works off the
existing dos/windows installation.
It can not handle much memory but can do till 16MB. Never really did GUI
with that but should be workable. 95 runs fine with that, from the
screenshots. But a native VGA that orcad uses, I don't know.
I miss my dos installtion sometimes. I shouldn't have removed it for NT. But
this dumb PC... doesn't do more than 4 partitions.....;-(
