The first one didn't work at all on my machine (AT clone, AMI BIOS), and the second, called VMIX 386 (though it claims to work on machines from the 8086/8088 up), dispayed a control screen but then hung the machine. I also tried this second version on a real IBM PS/2 30-286 and had the same results. I don't recall if a warm boot worked or not in either of these cases. -- Stephen M.
