>I don't feel like spending weeks learning VirtualBox.  Can't we just petition the owners to add PC Speaker?
We could try, but in the VirtualBox bug tracker ticket I linked they wrote:

>I'm afraid that there currently are not as far as I know. We would happily accept a code contribution if it could be integrated without too much work on our side, '''but otherwise fixing this is just too low priority relative to the other things we have to do and our available engineering time'''.

So it seems like they are open to the idea of adding PC speaker support (unlike VMware), but just don't care enough to do it themselves, so I don't think a petition would work. Code would probably work though, and learning VirtualBox could be beneficial for TempleOS in other ways since you run it in a VM you would know more about how the underlying VM works instead of just trusting VMware.

Also, even if the VirtualBox team refused to accept your patch for whatever reason, since VirtualBox is open source you could compile it yourself or even create a fork called "TempleVM" specifically for TempleOS.

These are just ideas from me though, if they don't interest you that's fine.
