This information should be written in the "information" part of the web
site. Because I (as other people) didn't understand that particularity.
And in the Bochs files, it's written something like "Bochs is slow, have a
look at Plex86 for faster process" so I thought, probably as others, that
Plex86 was an emulator.

So I must tell you that I find strange that you limit yourself to a
processor. I mean Bochs seems more interesting because it can emulate a
processor on an unlimited number of machine (you just have to port it).
Plex86 can help to run a limited number of OSes (mainly Win and Linux) on
the same processor.
But probably the most noticeable limit is the processor. As processors
change, and Plex86 is stuck to x86 processors, does that mean you'll have to
start all over again when the x86 production will be stopped ? If really
RISC processors get over CISC ones as it is (was ?) said.

I think I'll go back to Bochs...
