    In a Tech Note (either 285 or 298, I can't remember), Apple has noted 
that VM is not designed to work with third-party accelerators.  This is not 
to say that it's impossible to get them to work, but accelerators tend to 
do many unusual things to the system at boot-time, and Apple couldn't allow 
for the myriad variations possible.

    Compatability is the responsibility of Dove.  Call them to see if they 
have an upgrade planned.
