G+_Travis Hershberger Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Dave Holowiski You probably could, but it wouldn't be native so it'll be.... slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Victoria Holowiski Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Yes, that's true. But it's quiet and low power so you could set it off in a corner and forget about it for a month or two while it chews though drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Travis Hershberger Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Eddie Foy DosBox has been ported, and I think you could get VirtualBox running on one (the pain, the pain!). So one way or another it'll run.... run well might be questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
