I managed to do some testing in Virtual Box. I have MS-DOS 6.22 + Win 3.11 running ok. When run in full-screen mode, mouse cursor movement is acceptable, otherwise there are serious problems caused by an unmanageable and erratic mouse cursor. There are major difficulties in finding a good 1024x768 display driver (the S3 trio64V 1.70.04 1024x768 256 C SF, which works in Virtual PC, does not work here). It seems that some people are using patches to overcome this limitation. MS SVGA driver works ok, but is hardly enough. It is not easy to exchange information between the host and guest systems as there are no DOS additions available. The overall experience is not up to what I have in Virtual PC. Moreover, Virtual Box caused a lockup of files on my desktop, which needed a reboot to fix. This stuff may be too overpowering for my liking.
