Wow! 86Box sounds very good, Bernie. Thank you for the update.

I don't recall ever using/trying it.

Re speed: I'm surprised if the execution speed is the same as on 
486-based hardware - I would have expected higher performance!

And 86Box is being regularly updated and supported - very important, 
though seemingly mainly by one person?

Very best,
