I have the need to run the ancient OS/2 system once or twice a year due to 
business obligations and for that purpose I have such a system installed. It 
would be nice to have a virtual machine for that purpose but I haven't been able 
to find one which would do the job. VMware specifically states that they do not 
support it and VirtualBox (Innotek) requires cpus with AMD-V or similar support.

Please if possible include such guest system limitations/requirements in the wiki.
