We once started to play with our full embedded distro under bochs, but I do not recall right now how far we came - need to check with the person who actually did the work. Anyway, RTAI used to run fine under ancient VMware, I do not see any reason why this shouldn't work for Xenomai as well. If it breaks and Xenomai crashes, please post the results. If your VM goes South - switch to another product. ;) Jan --------------enigD1221302A07708862CCA7166 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEWJSaniDOoMHTA+kRAjyJAKCEeHUSht4jWXuZp6qH1iKMgIEBJACfQLDu cAAP+bsRKQeyEdG150kswlM= =0Tf7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigD1221302A07708862CCA7166--
