Lismore Software Systems Ltd. on Tuesday released Guest PC v1.0.1, an updated version of their new PC emulator for Mac OS X. Improvements in this release include a variety of bug fixes involving FileVault, multiple partitions, internet and network access, AirPort-based DHCP addressing and more. Support has also been added for .toast and .cdr images, .floppyimages and NextStep and OpenStep CD images.
