if you enable PCI with XP the end result is quite spiffy.
I don't think it will play DOS games though which is what you would use DOSBox for.

Thanks for the tip on having more than 2 drives.
I will give it a shot.
That will really help.

I am running Comic Collector Pro v5.5 and it is so so.
The app is a database app so it eats a lot of resources.

I have not heard back from the port author about the compile issues yet.
He says I would not have known about the ones for 2.6 which involved OS4 specific stuff.
Why 2.4 won't compile, well, I am waiting for an answer.
It seems we do not have a stable release of the source available at this time.
