Tri booting old Operating Systems

[gupti]

I have a dual-boot ubuntu-Windows XP computer, and today, while rummaging in the basement, found some Windows 3.1 floppies. My laptop has no floppy drive, but just to ask, can you intsall old OSs (Winows 3, Mac OS 7)on your PC to make it tri boot if you already have some modern operating systems? And I've seen that old Operating systems can be downloaded, so how do you install those?

The tough thing is getting support for modern hardware. If I were you, I would use an emulator or virtual machine instead. I'm a big dos-head, and both freedos and dosbox work great, for example.

I can see that you can download 19 parts of Mac os 7.53, but how do you run and install in in virtual machines such as VirtualBox OSE?
