I don't remember if 1.3 had Hard Drive compatibility?!?!
comes with it. CNet runs great under that.. I currently run CNet under 3.9 and have run it under 4.1 but it's a little rough around the edges on 4.1..

Nice.. You will like 3.x whether it is 3.1.4 or 3.9, even 3.1 with the right addon's they are all really good. I run my BBS on 3.9, it is very stable and runs very nice..

AmigaOs 1.3 was the first version that could boot directly from a hard drive. Earlier versions could use them but you needed to boot from a floppy.
I am using Workbench 3.1 on the harddrive and its working fine for
me.

I've bought Amiga Forever I've been playing with it. I REALLY like it. My goal is to run a Amiga VM in Ubuntu and set up Amiga Express and setup a true Amiga BBS. Since I have Corona I'll have time to do it now....

Hello Al!
This is a VERY old email, and since I JUST got fido working again on
this BBS it's new to me! :)

Cool.. You will like it especially since you have all the ROMS and
install disks needed to get going.. Be careful with VM's running the emulators they will slow you down. Basically, you are running a emulator inside an emulator. I found I just run WinUAE on a seperate PC which I consider my Amiga PC...
Sorry to hear you have Corona and I pray for a speedy recovery. I am
not sure how well AmigaForever will work, but I have seen quite a few C-Net boards on WinUAE and now one on MorphOS. So see what you can do and keep us informed.

That was/is my long-term plan too. Can't do that til I move again
though. I do have a spare desktop I was planning on installing ARCOS on. I've read/seen some good things about it. but I'm running Linux and I know it won't lag as bad as in Windows. I've had almost zero lag when running any VM's in linux/Ubuntu --- SBBSecho 3.10-Linux

Emulating an emulator is like googling google. The world will come to an end ;)
I am running 3 VM's inside windows and have no lag on them.. It's when you toss WinUAE inside a VM that you start to see lag.. My original plan with my boards was to have a VM for each one running off my Server, when I saw how slow my CNet Amiga was inside the VM I knew it wasn't a good idea.. Hopefully, you won't experience a lag with Linux. I am moving my Server to a Linux based setup soon, I am hoping to get rid of all of the extra machines I have for each platform and just run VM's on it.. We'll see how it goes...
ARCOS on.I've read/seen some good things about it.
Bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre for $50. Upgraded to 12 GB & a 1 TB laptop drive I use for running ArcaOS. Got both at the same time as I got my tax refund back in February. Even upgraded the BIOS from 2013 to 2018.
Anyway...everything is seen by ArcaOS. Been working with getting Telegard/2 working with SIO2K...SGMail or D'Bridge for a front end & FastEcho or Fmail for a JAM tosser. The reason is that TG/2 runs a JAM message base the same as Mystic. If Mystic eventually ends up with another OS/2-ArcaOS version...will head back to that.
You will like ArcaOS & many of the changes they have implemented. Want to stay with Warp 4.52...the company has a package to provide you with drivers & such for I believe $49 a year. When I got my version...also signed up for a year of support for $58 a year. Many believe it is pricey...but when you consider the amount of money being paid for upgrading Windows...the cost isn't that bad.
Got any questions...feel free to ask. Sean Dennis over at MicroNet has helped myself & others as well. Want to see what the future looks like for Arca Noae...head to this PR: https://tinyurl.com/y72s8yye.

Lenovo, it's the Tiny Form Factor. I love it!
ago was a older Intel Pentium system. After I transfered everything over to the Lenovo that PC has been collecting dust. I was planning on making that into either a OS/2 PC or a Amiga one. It has 2 modems in it. I'm
I did install a older version of ArcaOS on that unused desktop. I'm not even sure where I downloaded it from, but it was a old version. Even
with that, it looks pretty good. I did have some boot issues. It would hang on occasion so I put playing with it to the backburner.
For sure, I'll be bugging you guys very soon!
Are all of your BBSes running under Windows? For some reason I thought
you were using Linux too. How much RAM does your Windows PC have, and
what type of CPU? I'm just curious.

Yeah, the ROMS were the main reason I bought both C64 Forever and Amiga Forever as a package. The DVD that came with Amiga Forever was
especially nice :)
an Allsop stand. Outta the way...access to the DVD drive & USB ports. Even using a USB KVM switch to go between the two systems.
It came with an 8 GB SSD I took off it & added another 8 GB stick for about $35 for a total of 12 GB. My desktop has just been upgraded to 2 8 GB sticks. The great thing about these systems is they were used in retail outlets...so we get them super cheap for doing exactly what I'm doing. For that matter...thought about getting another RPi...but that would've cost me more...even though I have a 3B+ & a Zero I bought at the holidays.
machine has 16gigs Ram, i3 3.5ghz. The 3rd VM on this machine will be handling my next board which will most likely be SynchroNet because I have been working on 1 in the background.
The other 2 machines are both i3's 3.3ghz 1 with 4 gigs ram the other with 8, one runs WinUAE for my C-Net Amiga board, and the other machine runs a instance of WinVice which runs my C64 Image BBS v2.0 and it also handles the BBS Servers for my 2 other Image BBS on real hardware...

I love the system! Mine only has 8G of Ram, I'm going to upgrade it,
add atleast another 4, but prolly 8. I do like the fact that it's pretty much like having a laptop. I also plan on upgrading the HDD. I have a
1TB external and a 500G internal. I'd like to have a 2TB+ HDD. I am
having trouble with certain USB hardware. I have 2 USB modems that I
can get to init. in Linux (manually).
If I go to reboot, linux doesn't see them. I have to unplug and replug them into the USB Ports. It does it on any USB Ports. I find that kind
of strange.
