   Hi Sean,   
      
    HG> Why this talk about Virtual OS/2?   
      
   SD> Because OS/2 won't install on a 6TB SAS disk correctly.   
      
   Who needs a 6 TB disk?   
   Probably your BBS may use such capacity, but not normal humans.   
      
   SD> Also because OS/2 has a serious issue installing on modern hardware.   
      
   You don't have to tell me that. Only single core CPU's and small   
   partitions are accepted at install.   
      
   SD> So OS/2 suits itself to being run under a VM nicely if the VM can   
   SD> handle OS/2's usage of esoteric API calls when it boots up.   
      
   I have been told that the new versions such as Arca-OS and eComOS can be   
   installed on modern machines.
