Anyone get OS/2 Warp (any version) running on QEMU? And by that I mean that it runs well and is usable.

I got OS/2 v2.0 and v2.1 to run on QEMU, but they are unstable to a certain extent. The emulated SoundBlaster works occasionly, but sometimes crashes the VM. Also, I running in 640 by 480, 16 colors.

To be honest, if you want to run OS/2 in it's glory, using Virtual PC (On a side note, the DOS and Win-OS/2 subsystems do work, even though the only thing that I ran was Solitare and Ski Free).

I've never managed to anything with Qemu. Far too complicated. I only trust the Q port for Mac OS X or Virtual PC/VMware for Windows. Anything else just failed for me.
