After reading these posts I feel I have  to point out windows has to
be the easiest way to have vms and cp/m  running on the same desktop
(no flames). cp/m-86 runs great under vpc on windows. Also the most
important thing I can play leisure suit larry and both police and
space quest as well which I could barely do under 98.. I assume these
would still work using a mac.
