86Box Configs
What is 86Box?
86Box is a piece of software that attempts to emulate IBM PC Compatible's. Unlike VMware workstation & Oracle Virtualbox, 86Box does not use the hypervisor available for your computer.
Instead, 86Box emulates the actual hardware. This means that operating systems such as OS/2, Windows and older Linux operating systems will usually work better.
