OH, and BTW, DOS ina VM on a modern machine runs much faster than a bat outta hell. It's so fast you think something must be wrong.

I gave it 100MB of hard disk, same as the biggest disk I ever had with DOS, back in 1988 on a Toshiba T-100 portable.

The only thing that's really odd is trying to allocate ONLY a couple of MB of RAM to the VM. I settled on 16MB, since my Toshiba had 8MB and I occasionally found that limiting.
