Against:
-The Bios isn't prepared for emulation in 64 bits... you should use for VirtualBox.... YOUR Commodore OS in 32bits Or if you want it as your mind one, you can use the original one in 64 bits, or just to put a grub selector between OS's... I've got running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
-No internal USB connectors ( I use them with a PCIe board). I've got connected externally a numeric keypad to avoid 5 seconds of waiting at booting (to avoid "no keyboard detected" -although it boots anyway-). Not a big problem.

WOW I didn't know you made one..
Do you use keyrah on it..?
Oh did you try COS 32bit..??

Yes, I'm using keyrah. Read my thread, it's well explained.
I tried the previous COS 32 (thanks), and it worked, although very slow. Not sure if I configured VirtualBox right. Have to try with the latest.

What COS32 bit 1.3 in VB,yes works ok but effects don't.


(Where IBM is I have a Commodore 64 sticker.. )


Works fine in a Pentium 4 2.80 Ghz with ATI Radeon 256 mb graphics card all effects work.(IBM Net Vista,Effects don't work with internal graphics card)

Fernando, based on your BIOS there is one option called:
- Halt On

Which normally has values:
- All Errors
- Keyboard missing
- None (or Never)

Putting None (or Never) won't ever delay on boot trying to search for an attached keyboard
Seen it numerous times on CarPC's (where there is an USB HID device from the touch screen) or on headless Servers.

Thanks Marios. In fact I hadn't find that option, but another option to select if I wanted F1 to be pressed if any error at the beginning. I've changed it to disable and now it only says "no keyboard found" if I disconnect the num keypad, but no countdown. So thanks.

Another thing that I believe can be fixed: I don't want to installe COS 64bit or another because I don't want to use a grub selector at the beginning, but I do think perhaps there's a way to install it and Windows 7 and later select only one as the main one, so not delaying at booting. I mean, I prefer to change the main one everytime I would like to use another.
