Greetings all,
I had an old clunker of a PC that I was planning to put X-Amiga on but when I tried to turn it on this morning it wouldn't even boot. I eventually managed to get it running again but only to discover that 3 of the 4 Ram slots were no longer registering, neither was the CD drive nor one of the two hard drives. I think it's safe to say that this motherboard has had it's day and it's time to start looking for a replacement.
I remembered that Amiga Roundtable mentioned something about setting up a gOS development kit motherboard and I even found a site that is selling these boards
here. A quick search on the web seems to say that this is a good retailer (or at least according to
this anyway) but I can't seem to find much on the board itself.
So I was just wondering what all your thoughts are on this setup? Would it be good enough to run X-Amiga and maybe Kubuntu linux? Would it be worth also picking up a cheap PCI (I assume that's a PCI slot and not PCI Express) video card to use instead of the on board video?
Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to let you all know what I think of the system if I do end up building it. :-)
