... can a PC with Gigabytes of RAM run multiple QL emulations.
If so, can the VM QL's Network with each other?
If so, what is the maximum QL's on the QL network?
If so, what SuperBASIC (TK2) commands would one use to access the VM
QL's?
I can, and sometimes do, run two QPC2s on my laptop with windows XP. By
defining the win1, win2 etc correctly you can access the win1, win2 etc
files of one machine from the other. For example win1_ of one machine may
be win4_ of another. This, of course, is not the same as networking.

You have to be a little careful with this because only one QPC is allowed to
write to a QXL.WIN at a time. Several emulators can have read access at the
same time, but if one opens a write channel (e.g. OPEN_NEW#3,win1_example)
no other QPC can access that QXL.WIN until the channels are closed. However,
it is perfectly legitimate to write the file required, then close it, then
the other QPC reads that file.
Other emulators can also run multiple instances, but also seem to obey the
rules about only one of them having write access to the filing systems
(which is only common sense really, if 2 or 3 emulators write at the same
time chaos would ensue).
