I've been working with VirtualPC on my desktop machine to try and get some
legacy hardware working.  The hardware uses the parallel port to access some
data aquisition modules but these modules will not work on anything beyond
Win98.

Host: XP SP2, VPC2004 SP1, Loopback Adapter used on host for guest
Guest: XP SP2, Additions installed
Problem: On guest NIC doesn't work, got a yellow question mark in device
manager.

I have tried to install MCE 2005 in VPC ( for testing purposes) but when I
start Media Center, the screen is all out of alignment and some parts are
missing.
Has anyone tried this ?? If so any tips ???

Just Curious if Virtual PC 2004 can be installed into sever hardware box
like Compaq DL 380 which has SCSI hard drives?
Thanks
