I have it running on a P3@730MHz (Coppermine Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3)
with XP SP1 (5.1.2600 SP1 build 2600) 256M sdram, still with dsl-0.8.1.1,
boot ok, halt ok. Tried with the 0.6.1 and 0.6.1-fix, qemu -L .\bios -m
128 -locatime -user-net -enable-audio -cdrom I:\dsl.iso -boot d This let
me think that neither windows version nor specific extensions support is
an issue. The only thing I can see which is changed in the build process
is sdl.
