In an old post dating to November 2001 (the only place I can still find it is http://software.groupbrowser.com/Mach_on_VMWare_-t33487.html), Alex Protopopescu writes that in order to install openstep 4.2 on (the then current version of) vmWare, the following options should be added to the vmWare configuration (.vmx) file:
monitor_control.simmmu = TRUE
monitor_control.mmu_adaptive = TRUE
What do these options do? I've succeeded in getting OpenStep 4.2 (and other versions of Next/OpenStep) on the latest versions of vmWare Server beta, but am wondering if these options could be used to improve performance and/or stability.
