   The BIOS claims that VT is enabled, though. Shouldn't it be able to detect    
   whether the CPU does or does not support it?   
      
   I went ahead and tried to install eCS from the .iso images anyway. It    
   looked like it was working, up to a point where at "install phase 2" it    
   got stuck on "installing Java", even after leaving it overnight (which is    
   something I remember seeing in eCS 1.1, and which seemed not to affect    
   subsequent operations).   
      
   I sent a C-A-D and the machine dutifully rebooted from the "hard disk"    
   --with config.sys errors related to NETBEUI.OS2 (4 in all, net/lan    
   related). Eventually I got a partial desktop but not much seems to work    
   (except opening and closing folders, and simple command-line programs    
   such as tedit) and there's a lot missing; in particular the startup folder    
   is empty.
