The docs say the guest PC uses the
CPU in a native fashion. The rest
is emulated.
The technical info provided is pretty terse.
I am not really sure about this, but I believe
the Connectix people were originally in the
Mac-business, also making PC emulators and suchlike.
That would explain their preference for
omitting technical stuff from the manual.
Philosophy: it works, you don't have to
know how. (Grudgingly, I have to admit
that it *does* work.)
It would also explain why you can only
let one guest PC be active at the same
time. This severely limits the possibilities
for a distributed OS like plan9.
I was looking forward to creating
a terminal, a cpu server, and a file server,
all in one go, but I am not prepared
to switch windows for every 9P message. :)
Keep up the good work,
Regards,
Vincent
PS.
wrap/inst-ing the updates is a lot
faster than the install.
