   I had no problems building a OS/2 Warp 3 virtual machine from the CDROM.     
   The CDROM emulator under VM Workstation worked fine.  One of the big    
   advantages of virtualization is abstracting away the underlying    
   hardware.  I can now move my OS/2 virtual machine to any hardware    
   machine I want.  Right now it's running as 1 of 6 virtual machines on a    
   Windows 2008 R2 server.
