 RW> Yeah, I got it to install, 

it what? one of those files above from one of the sites found? which file?

with all of the 1.60 and earlier SIO packages, i've never run any install
process... i've always extracted them to the directory i wanted them in and
then manually adjusted config.sys as needed... vx00 is loaded in the tasks
that need it and no others... little things...

hunh? reactivating?

 RW> Had to rebuild the VM

hunh^2?? you couldn't hit ALT-F1 when the white blog came up and then use the
option to restore the original or last backup? or even select to get to the
command line and edit the config.sys to comment out the SIO lines and
uncomment the original ones you were using? then a reboot should have taken
you back to where you were to begin with...

 RW> and install SIO2k, which seems to be working much better than I 
 RW> had hoped :) 

certainly sounds like it ;)
