(removed alt.usage.english)
Vbox supports virtual disks from several other platforms, such as
VMware. Maybe it supports Parallel's too, take a look at their website.
If not supported directly, there are also conversions from one format
into another. If that works, you don't need to reinstall eCS (which I
use as well). Vbox is free for non-commmercial use, it is now from
Oracle. I have used it quite a lot. To run OS/2 in a Vbox
VirtualMachine requires that the host CPU has support for
virtualization (and that it is switched on).
