It's good to know if someone can install pix os on a virtual machine without a particular PIX hardware:)
No, you won't be able to do this. Yes, PIX is just a PC, but it is
specific hardware.
My ex-girlfriend built a PIX box. You needed a specific chipset, intel NICs and
their proprietary flash card that stores the PIX software. This flash
card has an
embeded serial number. She was able to get hold of a couple of flash
cards because
of upgrades that were going on. Once she had that, she built the rest.
This was about four years ago, So, your milage may vary.
