Virtual PC - hardware timing

Forum thread started by hagar on Tue, 2005-06-07 09:58

Hi,

I'm working on the JNode project (http://www.jnode.org) and we have a problem running in Virtual PC. I have looked for at way to solve our problem and after a long search I found this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824982 and this main reason to this topic. The problem we have sound very much like the one you had, interrupt/hardware timing, and I would be very glad if you could give a hint. I also found this page http://blogs.msdn.com/Virtual_PC_Guy/archive/2004/12/29/343863.aspx , but it only says you/BeOS made it work and not how.

Regards,
Martin

Eh, this isn't going to be the answer you wanted

Microsoft actually fixed the problem - nobody from Haiku or any other BeOS project did. We don't know what they did, THEY don't know what they did...

BeOS also worked in the last non-Microsoft PPC version of VirtualPC but with extremely unreliable input - they'd fixed it by then.

You are right, this wasn't the answer I hoped to get... I might have to contact MicroSoft and see what they say. Hopefully they can give some answers or at least a hint.

Thanks for your time.
