It works great on my system. I run my old school BBS in a VM. I tried to run
OS/2 on real hardware and never got it to install. Had problems with video and
NIC drivers that caused the install to hang. I run version 4.52 under
VirtualBox for Windows. I use SIO to get the "modem" to accept telnet
connections. One issue VirtualBox has is it will not map the virtual drive to
the host. I have to use FTP to move programs back and forth or make .iso images
 an load it in the virtual CD.
