The BIOS claims that VT is enabled, though. Shouldn't it be able to detect 
whether the CPU does or does not support it?

I went ahead and tried to install eCS from the .iso images anyway. It 
looked like it was working, up to a point where at "install phase 2" it 
got stuck on "installing Java", even after leaving it overnight (which is 
something I remember seeing in eCS 1.1, and which seemed not to affect 
subsequent operations).

I sent a C-A-D and the machine dutifully rebooted from the "hard disk" 
--with config.sys errors related to NETBEUI.OS2 (4 in all, net/lan 
related). Eventually I got a partial desktop but not much seems to work 
(except opening and closing folders, and simple command-line programs 
such as tedit) and there's a lot missing; in particular the startup folder 
is empty.
