For Sale: VM/386 Ver 1.22 Multitasking Operating System (True, real-time, multitasking) * Lets you have as many virtual DOS machines as you have memory for, all running concurrently. For example, I was recently downloading a longfile from a BBS via modem, printing a graphics image, and using MSWORD, all simultaneously. * Each virtual machine is customizable, as to how much memory it has available, what I/O devices it uses exclusively or shares, what amount of CPU time it has allotted, its priority, etc, and each has its own CONFIG.SYS file and AUTOEXEC.BAT file. * Each virtiual machine can be individually rebooted via CTL-ALT-DEL. If one program crashes, the others can continue. * Requires an 80386 or 80386SX processor, at least 2 MB of RAM (for OS and 2-512K virtual machines), a hard disk, and an MDA, Hercules, CGA, EGA, or VGA video adaptor. * Includes manual and all documentation (Perfect condition).
