I see a download that works with VMWare. Does it work for Parallels?

I have an old copy of Parallels which I would have to update for $39 or $49. If I get VMWare I would have to buy a new license for $79.

Just wondering which I should do. I also want to run eComStation (OS/2) inside of OS X also (I don't do any kind of Windows).

I do run Haiku on my MacbookPro under VMWare emulation without any problems. A quick search reviled, that Parallels is not such a straightforward taks. :( It used to work with previous version, though.

I've read that VirtualBox has VMWare disk compatibility, so you might want to give it a try (as its free).

Can't you just grap the ISO and install the system to a new Parallels virtual machine? Don't know about the virtual HW support though.

You can use the VMWare- Image directly with VirtualBox.
