   the way that i'm aware of it is that many virtual machine emulators also do   
   not recognise the machine language instructions that OS/2 uses to boot with...   
   i'm not aware of any way to make then emulate older CPUs either... i'm just   
   aware that OS/2 pretty much cannot be run in most machine emulators and this   
   machine instruction problem is the reason...
