Well, after the latest changes (too bad Camiel doesn't have too much time
to work on this) it *did* successfully install VMS (8.3 I think it was)
 from a CD image. I haven't, however, stressed the installed system too
much (yet). And it's not too fast, which is probably mostly due to the
fact that it emulates a 64bit CPU on a 32bit system.

cu,
