Bill Davenport, of VBL fame (on which he'll resume work quite soon, after having submitted it to OSDrawer), wrote me letting me know that he got BeOS R5 running on VMWare, under OS X, on his Macbook Pro. It's quite slow still (though the Teapot runs at over 100fps, the redraw is a killer), but he hopes to smooth things out quite a bit after getting the video driver up and running.

He made the VM 4GB in size and using 128MB of RAM, and had to run R5 in Safe Mode, f not, it would freeze. Click below to see a few screenshots Bill sent, after the break. Good job.

Check out the screenshots:
