Re: Another NVMM question

[Robert Nestor <rnestor%mac.com@localhost>]

No, this is an old Windows-95C that I’m trying to install under NVMM.  It did install and run under XEN and I tried using the same parameters in NVMM.  Had to specify no more than 768Meg of RAM, Pentium class CPU and VCPU=1 (which I assume would be SMP 1).

So I suspect it’s either a bug or a missing feature in NVMM.

I can’t try Windows 10/64 (or 32) as I don’t have a license or CD for it.
