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).
