I have tried two versions, one very old and another which is not too
old. The first one didn't work at all on my machine (AT clone, AMI BIOS),
and the second, called VMIX 386 (though it claims to work on machines from
the 8086/8088 up), dispayed a control screen but then hung the machine.
I also tried this second version on a real IBM PS/2 30-286 and had the
same results. I don't recall if a warm boot worked or not in either of
these cases.
