Virtual Machine Options for ECS as Host: VirtualBox (Open Source Edition) Seems like the best alternative at the moment. The RDP / USB Passthru features of the commercial version, available for free under the PUEL license (Windows / Linux / Solaris) are not available in the open source version. Pity. And I doubt that anything in this universe will induce Sun to release an ECS Version of the commercial code... Homepage: www.virtualbox.org Download: download Review: review Virtual PC Originally Connectix, bought over by Microsoft in ca. Summer 2003. Can run XP, but VERY slow. A rough idea is about 33% of the original host system can be used by Virtual PC. Won't install on newer CPUs - no support for Dual CPU, let alone MulitCore. AFAIK, Virtual PC was NEVER free on Innoteks site - there was a link to Connectix, where the actual sale was done... Version: Virtual PC 2004 Last Version for ECS: 5.1 Reviews: 2004 Not supported any more, nor available commercially. Serenity Virtual Station (AKA SVISTA/2) Latest version: SVISTA/2 2004 Not supported any more, nor available commercially. Homepage: www.serenityvirtual.com VMWare No host for eComStation QEMU / Bochs Not good enough to even be mentionned in prime time! Virtual Machine Options for ECS as Guest: Microsoft Virtual PC (modern) Guest eComStation 1.2 works VMWare old VMWare: guest eComStation is not supported eCS 2.0 (RC5) is running fine inside VMware Fusion 2.0 (latest beta), with guestOS="os2experimental" and monitor_control.vt32="TRUE". Review: VMware Fusion for Mac VMWare ESXi installable v4 How to install eCS 2.0RC6a under VMWare ESXi installable v4 (by Ed Durrant) SVISTA (Paralles before 2005) Guest eComStation 1.2 is supported Parallels virtual machine guest eComStation 1.2 works inside VM Chuck: Since Parallels appears to present the virtual disk as an ordinary IDE drive, I have been using the latest IBM1S506.ADD, IBMATAPI.FLT, and IBMIDECD.FLT. I will probably re-think this when I try to add RSJ support. VirtualBox vbox requires vtx to install os2 guest regardless of host platform. This Core 2 Duo don't support Intel VT: P7350, P7450, T5200, T5250, T5270, T5300, T5450, T5470, T6400 and T6570 AMD without AMD-V support: Sempron (thx Andy Wismer, Chuck, Yuri Dario, eCo Software) See also: ecomstation.it
