Great. What I recall happens is that the Windows 2000 APM driver calls the APM bios function 0x0B (Get PM Event) every second and, should the APM bios be aware of an event (such as that the power button has been pressed) it signals this in the return value of the function. Thereafter, the Windo

You're welcome Ryan. Glad you like it. As to your other option, it is already the case that the APM bios sends the shutdown command to Qemu by out'ing bytes to a special port, so I imagine it would be possible for Qemu to send commands to the APM bios in a similar fashion. But, can the APM bios

This looks great -- thanks! I suppose one other option that would be kind of neat is if closing Qemu could somehow signal the Windows 2000 guest to shut down. Someone had suggested that earlier in the thread, but it sounded like that would require ACPI support in Qemu? Or is it something that cou
