VPC is better for compatibility but I strongly urge you to try both, READ THE DOCUMENTATION and become fully aware of the capabilities and limitations of both before buying.

I'd like to emulate Dos 6.22 with Sound Blaster, ISA Video, 486 Processor, and CD Rom all emulated properly. Has anyone done that? It absolutely must emulate the ISA video architecture.

I'm going to be using Dos Box eventually, but right now things are too premature: http://dosbox.zophar.netIt's totally easy to use, you just create a folder for you dos apps on your normal system. You map the drives
Mount C C:\MyDos
Mount E H:\
And that wound give you a C drive and a CD-Rom. ISn't that cool and easy? http://dosbox.zophar.net

I would like to mak everyone aware of a freeware Intel Architecture emulator called Bochs ( http://bochs.sourceforge.net/irc-20010619.html). It's a great idea and an honorable project. However it is confusing as hell and needs a lot of work. Those who have time should really help out. Emulators are the most important software programs out there.
