Has anyone tried this? What speeds are you getting?
-
It's been tried but not by me. See here (http://s.guillard.free.fr/alc4/Image14.jpg) for a screengrab.

Right; I saw that. It's what prompted my question. :)

Yes it does both the Interpretive and Dynamic Versions.
Due to having a lot more RAM available you can realy bump up the Dynamic Versions buffer.
Its seems to run at about the the same speed as on a 060,
I expect it to be much faster once I can test it using the OS4 68K JIT.
But loading etc is quicker with Hardfiles as the Native Disk IO is so much faster.

hmmm.......
Who let the cat out of the bag ?

What kind of real-world speeds would you equate the non-JIT version with? '486? '386?

I remember PC-Task "fondly" - I had to use it back in '92 to do my Turbo Pascal programming assignment at home on my A1200 with 2MB Fast. I remember it was so slow there was a noticeable delay after pressing a key before the character appeared on screen.

OMG What the heck was that screenshot of? A very OLD version of Windows?? Scarey how things used to look. If I wanted to run PC software on an Amiga (especially under OS4). I'd go to my local recycle center and pick up a PC for $15 that could run that version of the software..
It's still funny that Amiga software runs faster on WinUAE than PC software does under OS/4 and the G4. I wonder how fast classic Amiga software runs on OS/4 compared to that of the modern PC..
This has been a fun walk down memory lane either way..
Anyone really want a Bridgeboard for OS4??

I used to run MS-DOS 6.22 with PC-task 4 for school. Almost everthing works, except memmaker. PC-task 4 was running on an A1200 with a Blizzard 1230IV with 16 MB of RAM.

Accidently hit the "Submit" button instead of the "Quote" button - sorry!

I assume you do live in a big house and have a huge desk with lots of space on it's top and at both sides?
Fine for you - I do not and I don't want to waste my slender space...

Yesss...

Dandy, there is "edit" button , too.
I've tried PC Lemmings and Prince of Persia on PCTask with A500+. slooooooow, you have to wait few seconds to see sprites move. (still, it was fun)
:lol:

The version of Windows in that screen shot looks like 3.0/3.1 to me. How well would PC Task run Word on an 060?
Regards,
-
It could be win NT, too.
-
Or OS/2 in Windows-mode...
-
Who designed PC Task? Are they still around?
Just thinking how many peoples' lives/migrations to OS4 would be made easier through an updated version capable of Win32 functions.
