I want to put Virtual PC on my PB 1400, but the installer says that itneeds 64 megs of RAM. I have a flash card I am using for virtual memory. Is there a way to install Virtual PC anyways? If I hook the PB up as a SCSI disk to my desktop that has more than enough RAM, and install to the PB, will that work?
I don't know if that would work, it might. But remember that you cannot use SCSI disk mode if you have installed a larger HD than (4?) gig in your 1400, you'll risk scrambling data. The exact size is in the archives somewhere.
I could not get VPC 4 to run on my 60 meg powerbook 1400; but 3.03a works fine, albeit limited to Win95. If you have 3.0 you will want the incremental updates; they can be a little hard to find (at least they were when Connectix still owned it), holler if you want help.
I'm guessing that you are looking for tax software too ? given the time of year. VPC3 has issues with printing to MacOS printers, IIRC, but you might be able to put on a Windows .pdf builder and print to that on the Windows side.
