Probably player will still have support to "play" vmware 4 machines, but i didn't tested it yet. The machines created with vmware5 doesn't have rio, but they have network, so you can drawterm to them. I didn't tested the vesa driver with vmware 5.

The free player aborts with "virtual machine cannot be opened because it was created by a version of Workstation before Workstation 4". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
