We could have done with the powerball numbers last thursday, it was up to 100 million (that's a lot for here).

I'd prefer a 386 with VGA, better memory management and later versions
of OS/2 were 32 bit anyway. Even before I ran OS/2, I remember
upgrading to the 386 was a breath of fresh air, because I could finally use QEMM/386 and also DV could run multiple DOS sessions, each with
their own conventional memory (thanks to virtual 8086 mode). The
ultimate would have been something like a 486DX4100 with 32M RAM and
SVGA. OS/2 would have flown on such a machine (mine never had that much RAM in those days :( ). :)

YES!! 486/DX100! GREAT chipset!! I had that set up, with ALOT less

CPU, Below Par Memory and average Video Card.

Apple went through 3 iterations. Initially they were Motorola based, starting with the 68030 IIRC. Then they went to IBM's PowerPC
platfform, before finally switching to Intel. On the PC, there was
Cyrix (IBM) for a while in the 386/486 days.

YES Cyrix! I think I got their DX2 model, which wasn't bad and kinda cheap... I always wanted a apple, they were way out of my price range back then. Hell, they're stil expensive
Try looking at Amiga's now, there are the new X1000 and X5000I never had an Amiga before. And now I really want to. I tried emulating
machines, PowerPC's the x5000 is $2g! I'll keep emulating it on my
PC!! I picked up a Dell off lease i5 3.4ghz with 1TB HD and 8 Gigs Ram built in 2015 from eBay for $85 guess what it is doing in addition to running my 2 BBS'? Running a 3rd BBS in an Amiga Emulation! I'd rather spend a couple of hundred on a PC then a couple of grand on a Mac or Amiga...
I never had an Amiga before. And now I really want to. I tried emulating an older version of Amiga and I was pretty much impressed by the way the Workbench looks and works. I guess it was a blast for it's time.
I salvaged a Powermac G5 in perfect condition from the dumpster, but according to AmigaOS web site it is not compatible with AmigaOS 4.1 :(
And the prices for current Amiga hardware is kind of out of this world. Yeah, you got to be a really big fan to pay $2k for the mainboard with
CPU :(
Did you try MorphOS? I really want to try it out on Powermac, it should
be compatible, I just need to get a screen for it :)

I can't forget an AMI WinBios GUI some mainboards of that era used to

a PC Emulator that allows you to pick a specific hardware to emulate.
And it can do WinBios ROMs.
Very nice emulator, if you want to run Windows 95/98. It can emulate Voodoo cards even,
and it gives you the whole retro PC experience, wich includes looking
for a good
drivers :)

Amiga OS 4.1 is nice, I am shocked how up to date it is even though itI am about to order Amiga 4.1 . Can't wait anymore :)
was created many years ago.. I am running that on my Emulator to run
the BBS.. I did try MorphOS, didn't spend enough time with it though.
I spent $35 (yea $35 for a OS) and wanted to get that running on my Emulator.. I will install MorphOS on another Emulator and play around
with it some. Plus there is Icaros which is another fork off the Amiga OS.. I tried that also for a bit. I will play with that one a little
more too... It's fun playing with these old computers... :)
Just in case you'll want to give it a try someday, make sure to get a proper bios pack for v14. V13 pack would work, but you'd be missing out somehave. I loved it. A couple of months back I discovered a PCemVery interesting. :)

Hello Bucko!

Are you using Amiga Forever for emulation? I just found that I can't run MorphOS on my PPC machine as the OS does not support nVidia FX5200 I have currently installed.

old. And this PC also has twice the RAM (8GB vs 4GB). But I recently installed a SSD in the older machine, and that really lifted its performance. This PC is still running a conventional spinning HDD.

I'll keep my modest A4000 setup as it does what I want from a old girl.

I've been using two ssd's in my personal machine for sereral years. The boot drive is a 64gb SSD, and have a second for the home drive.
Both my server's have 500Gb ssd in raid1, and they fly. The only
spinning disk is the server hosted backup drives.
I don't blame you.. I was looking at prices when I decided to get back into the Amiga world and saw a a500 pretty much stock (Same setup as I gave away 3 years ago) for $900.. It was pretty pitiful! I've never seen computers go UP in price before, but the Amiga? Oh yea...
boot drive is a 64gb SSD, and have a second for the home drive.
Between my upgrade cycles and cost/GB, SSDs have only become practical
for me relatively recently (in the last couple of years). Next PC will
be either SSD or SSD system drive with SSD or HDD for bulk storage.
Nice. :) The older PC (now runs Linux) has a 250GB SSD. That's plenty
of space as I don't need the bulk storage on that one. It was sluggish with a HDD, but now that machine often outperforms this one (which has a 1TB HDD).
New parts are hard to imposable to find. Eg: I had a cyberstorm '060 in
my A3000, and just one day after doing a reboot it refused to work. I stripped the machine down to the bare bones, and it still refused to
work.
I guess you are right, I will stick to my Emulated systems.. Just
pulled the BBS off the PPC emulator and went back to a regular 4000
with AOS3.9 the 4.1
although really sweet just gave me too many problems with CNet.. So I
just spent the evening building a new 3.9 system on a 4000 Emulator..
Just gotta fix the double mouse pointer with WinUAE and change the
icons to something new and I'll reinstall CNet and start modifying
it.. Jeez.. Spent almost 2 weeks getting it going on 4.1 and now I am
back to 3.9.. LOL

Yeh they have come down a lot in the past six months, so much that I'm
now doing a lot of new machines with a 250GD SSD, and even doing
upgraded from standard hd's to SSD's. (I'm about to do a laptop upgrade next week).
$130AUD for a Samsung 250GD SSD, is now way down on what they used to
be. Even the 500GB drives have come down to $215AUD. #-)
I've changed clients systems from spinning disk's to ssd and they can't beleive how much more responsive and quick the machine has become. Foe example, on clients machine went from 3-5minutes to be usable, to being ready in 30seconds. They where willing to pay the extra price after
seeing that result.
How does one obtain C-Net these days?

I think mine cost a little less from memory, and it was a Samsung too.
Yes, I'm more than happy with my SSD upgrade. That's one I'd do again.
:) I have an old laptop in this class, 300 GB HDD ATM, so a 250 or 500GB SSD would be a worthwhile upgrade for it. And much cheaper than a new laptop. :)

I'm not mistaken, they were bad for overheating? Maybe that was another chipset I'm thinking about that was around in the 80's or 90's... ?

Yea unbelievably so, it's a outside company making a clone, but it's
still around... I'll be honest I am running 3 VM'd BBS' on a Win 10 machine, I am starting to kick myself for not installing Linux as the host. The system really gets bogged when all 3 are going or doing something at the same time... Seriously gonna spend a saturday changing over...
