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.
