OK. Here is the next edition of Connectix Virtual PC. No Windows 95
hard disk images included inside the Virtual PC? 2.0 folder, so you
need to use custom install instead or copy the Virtual PC? 2.0 folder
to the hard disk. Just choose everything except the hard disk images
(except Extras 2.0 hard disk image).
For Mac OS 8.6 compatibility, you have to update them to 2.1.3.

You can use the serial numbers (all not tested):

1925-3637-6190-7648 or 4498-3570-7552-3920 or 7979-6871-0130-2571 or
0372-6585-9353-1819

or 2.1 serial:
VPC21-1016-747

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

Incompatible with SheepShaver because it lacks MMU (it shows an error
message and broken graphics). You can try running it on QEMU
[experimental], however don't expect you can get the maximum
performance (compared when running via qemu-system-i386).
