Virtual pc on mac12/10/2023 So feel free to test any OS and come here to tell what happens. If OS is not officially supported, you can still transfer files floppy and CD-ROM and with second hard disk images that are formatted with FAT16 or FAT32. Practical OS maximum depends what kind of PC Virtual PC version emulates, but you can try install newer OS that officially supported, but without additions. Practical GUI minimum Windows 3.1, but tested to work with 1.04 (mouse works and cd-driver works, CD looks like HD, because it's just any DOS-drive for Win1) Practical PC OS minimum is MS-DOS 5.00, but tested to work with 3.31 (mouse- and cd-driver works!)

Don't mix HD-images with different version of Virtual PC, except if you upgrade, downgrading is between hard work or impossible. Virtual PC or Finder can hang if you have auto CD play in Mac or virtual machine when you put CD-ROM with Audio-tracks when Virtual PC running. If you use real floppy and want it keep "PC clean", then only use it without write protect when Virtual PC is on top (front).

Most of information is tested by me, but not all with my Macs or disks.so I don't have all files for recheck, so I hope I remember right (I start to write this, when I noticed that I have forget so much and hard remember anymore).
