Weelll, the site states that it works for 64bit clients and hosts and
the install did not balk when I lit it up the XP64 machine so I assume I
am ok. If I do not get problems with the VM on the direct connect IDE.
I may take the time to build a SCSI based VM planted on the IDE drive
and see if that invokes the problem. Ever see a compiler go crazy on
the old HP mini's running HPDOS? You know, the OS that had the
compilers own a raw piece of disk for the object code, so they did
physical IO to the platter for compiles? That must have been about a
ga-zillion years ago :)
