For Sale:

VM/386  Ver 1.22 Multitasking Operating System  
                (True, real-time, multitasking)


* Lets you have as many virtual DOS machines as you have memory 
  for, all running concurrently.  For example, I was recently
  downloading a longfile from a BBS via modem, printing a graphics
  image, and using MSWORD, all simultaneously.

* Each virtual machine is customizable, as to how much memory it
  has available, what I/O devices it uses exclusively or shares, 
  what amount of CPU time it has allotted, its priority, etc, and 
  each has its own CONFIG.SYS file and AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

* Each virtiual machine can be individually rebooted via CTL-ALT-DEL.
  If one program crashes, the others can continue.

* Requires an 80386 or 80386SX processor, at least 2 MB of RAM (for OS
  and 2-512K virtual machines), a hard disk, and an MDA, Hercules, CGA,
  EGA, or VGA video adaptor.

* Includes manual and all documentation (Perfect condition).
