How do you think Windows runs in VMWare ???
There is sth wrong in your code

I've had code that worked on my system, but wouldn't work under vmware. Turned out to be a minor problem is my code which my bios was willing to overlook, but not vmware.

Personally, I use vmware as the ultimate test for my OS... it's fairly unforgiving, so it works under vmware, it'll work under anyway (at least such is my assumption

BeOS and QNX doesn't work on VmWare too!

Really? Hmm... perhaps I'll have to rething my assumption, then

BeOS doesn't? I could've swore I'd seen a screenshot of Be running under VMWare (under win98, tho).

Do you happen to know which version of the BeOS and VMWare doesn't work? Or all versions don't work?

That's a definite bummer because I use vmware to test my OS... I have an idea that someone might want to try out, though... would it be possible to copy your existing BIOS to the vmware BIOS? Perhaps that might make it work better? Not sure.

THanks for the info, dude,

While we're on the subject of VMWare, is there a version for Windows 98?
I know there's one for Win2K and for Linux, but what about Windows 98?
Thanks.

I would assume that a 2k version would work in
98 as well. The OSs aren't overly different...
bug fixes, patches and a new name

if www.vmware.com doesn't like a 98 version,
then there wont be one, and you'll have to try
the 2k version.

Huge difference, 2k is based on NT with that whole
HAL thing. ME which lots of people get confused with 2000
because of the stupid naming scheme is 98 based.

You could always try bochs which I believe does work
under 98 (I haven't tried)
