 Welcome down the rabbit hole!

 I worked with VMWare for a couple of years on high-end hardware, dealt
 with VMWare's hardware compatibility list changes, and got used to VMs
 being particular about their hardware.

 I took the laptop the BBS ran on in bare metal, added some more memory
 (it was running 32-bit Windows, so only 4GB) and put Proxmox on it.
 Re-installed the BBS as a guest on the same hardware, and it ran
 perfectly - plus gave me the ability to do snapshots and run other VMs
 as well.
