This is brilliant stuff. I have tried Bochs before without success. VirtualPC is a nightmare BUT this, on the surface looks good. It responds well, IT'S FAST. Had no trouble created a Windoze 4Gb disk image. I didn't keep the Q executables on the drive (probably a mistake!!) but formatted (format /s) the drive using a Windoze98(!!) install disk and proceeded to install. It is going well. Use AppleTab to move your mouse in and out. Currently experimenting on a G5DP with several TB of disk... good for experiments...
Will report back wrt USB and Firewire. Q is very easy to use. At this stage I have got further with Win98 on the G5 than ever before. Love to try "Hasta la Vista"
Installation process taking about the same time as a recent AMDAthlon 3200
to install (a legal copy of) XP. Going to try SuSE Linux 10 next. We need Windows running for hardware (PICAXE) development software that alas only runs on a pc.
<delay> OK... nearly there. It hung and died on detecting the hardware. Still better than before. Will continue and report back. Uses 99.5-100% of processor... mouse and keyboard still OK however.
