Why people who obviously know nothing of the Mac try to give advice on them is beyond me. VirtualPC emulates PC hardware copmletely. Just about any OS that will run on a PC, will run on VirtualPC running on a Mac. Here, let me help: it's like vmware for Macs. Better? As for the no floppy problem, I don't know if VPC supports booting off of a CDROM, but if it does you could go that route. jon On Wed, Jun 07, 2000 at 04:35:55PM +0530, Rahul Siddharthan wrote: > Raymundo M.
