specifically states that they do not support it and VirtualBox
(Innotek) requires cpus with AMD-V or similar support.
Xen and KVM should both do it, with HV. Apparently the others play funny
bees with the object code.
Thanks, I'll take a look at them.
Microsoft's Virtual PC allows one to choose an OS/2 profile, much to my
astonishment. Of course, that might mean Microsoft OS/2.
This is really strange. Microsoft purchased its Virtual PC from Innotek and that
version was capable of running OS/2 as guest without requiring AMD-V. Now
Innotek is back in business with a new virtual PC program which requires AMD-V!
