On a multicore processor, you could give the FreeDOS VM one core to itself. That should minimize impact on anything else the system is doing.

On a 4Core machine I have run 3 copies of the VM with not much impact to the host. This will work with FreeDOS VM and Microsoft DOS VMs, It will also run under a WinXP VM, and a Win98 VM. The most stable platform for the VMs with the least problems seems to be Mint 16 (about March, 2014 vintage + patches)...But all the Debian variation seem to work OK ... Use the Virtual Box that is in the standard software library (I have had problems using the latest versions on the Oracle site, there are issues with compatible libraries, etc) Moving images from the Dos VM Hard Drive can be an issue ... you need to setup a shared drive and networking under DOS ... FreeDOS has tools for this, also MS DOS has access to Microsoft's Networking tools. But it can be a pain to get everything talking. The Oracle extensions will work under WinXP and let the WinXP machine share a drive space with the host. -David On 06/07/2014 12:08 PM, david wrote:> Hmm, never tried FreeDOS under a VM.
