New Is it usable for more than just a demo?
For example, could you run [link|http://www.sundialsystems.com/mesa/|Mesa 2] or [link|http://www.sundialsystems.com/relish/|Relish] or Colorworks v2 in it?

I don't have a lot of unique OS/2 software that I would still want to run, but being able to fire up some of them would be handy at times, if only to get the information exported into something a more modern piece of software can read.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Performs extremely well
Seems to be faster than my old dedicated system, a 1 GHz P4 I believe. lincoln has it now.
I've played a number of games of Gal Civ, only issue being the "color cursor" problem. iTunes under WinXP under Parallels runs fast enough to play hi-def(1280x720) quicktime videos with some occasional jitter/shearing issues.

New It's not a real IDE
Parallels makes a big file under OS X and emulates the IDE interface to make the guest OS think it has a hard drive.
