I was using your .vbox file from GitHub. I have no idea why the ALT key isn't working. I tried changing to US keyboard layout but to no avail. I'm under Linux / x11 and I don't have any hotkeys on ALT.

The speed is perhaps 1/100th of what QEMU was putting out. May be related to not having correctly set up the virtualbox modules or something?

For speed try increasing the cpu execution cap here: https://github.com/robertely/SPOC-VirtualBox/blob/master/SPO... (out of 100) incromentally till you have a reasonable speed.

Sadly I can't explain the alt problem. I suppose I could rebind that to something like the space bar and upload a modified floppy image. I will poke at that later.
