I am right now trying (and being disappointed with) VirtualBox which is
essentially QEMU in disguie (or so says the Wikipedia article).

As with VPC, I tried both Plan 9 and FreeBSD on it. The FreeBSD VM is
copying the distribution right now and doing it blazing fast compared to
the sluggish IDE activity on VPC.

Still, Plan 9 would not even boot live on it. Somewhere after choosing
where to boot from, things slow down to a halt and that is it. Seems like
Plan 9 is all too manipulative and these virtualizers would not take that
;-)
