Hey huisinro.
It will be great if you guys can release a public beta of your software. So that we can give it a try.

Excellent point! septprince Or at least a beta for testing purposes would be another thought. That would allow feedback and bug reports from a larger number of users there.
Yes, that's a big problem for old machines. For example, if hooking modern USB 2.0 external hd on USB 1 machine, it's extremely slow. Some old machines don't even have USB ports, in which case, one has to use network shared folders to store the generated images. Network is much slower than USB 2.0 hard disk.
yes, we will provide beta version soon. We are going through the internal testing cycle at the moment.
For the old anchors the option for addon isa or pci firewire adapters would be the alternate if not considering a nic card as viable.
Try and find a brand new isa card for an old 286 machine? That would be something to see!
Thanks for your interesting in our "MyOldPCs" converter.
yes, we will release the beta in about a month. If Win95/98/NT4 not ready then, will release 2k/XP/Vista/7 version first.
We did some optimizations, it actually goes to 100G per hour with USB 2.0 external harddisk, easily beats all P2V tools from other major vendors. For example, one vendor's tool is extremely slow as 15G per hr with
exactly same config.
A 250G (used space) laptop takes about 2.5 hrs to convert with our converter, while it takes about 16 hrs with the other vendor's tool.
I've been working 500gb drives and later here with the OSs mainly on the 500s. The next build will likely see 1tb or 2tb drives only there. The 25ogb per hour rate will certainly be an important factor there!
right, P2V performance is very important. With this fast speed, it can be used to backup live system. Instead of xcopying files (which is very slow), one can just dump out the whole system. I use it to clone my dev machine regularly. Can either mount the vm file to gain access, or run it as a vm for a live machine.
A free download will be available in a few days.
Here is the datasheet: (diff to Microsoft XPM)
