PCx emulates Pentium, but lacks MMX (Which "486-only" PC-Task has)
much likely preventing Windows 95 from working...

Works on PC-Task, but it is quite slow, even on 060...

And about Bochs, afaik, it already IS ported to MorphOS...

Sorry, recalled wrong, but some Windows problems were coused by PCx's lack of MMX emulation...

It was just that, Windows recognized (emulated) computer as Pentium class, and of course assumed, it has MMX...

Or that's what I think, coused the problems...

Oh, and one PC game worth mentioning, is game called "Skyroads" (It was Shareware, but I think, it's now freely available, you should be able to find at least demo version with Google...)

Anyway, it's 3D VGA game, which runs about perfectly at least on my 060. If you do NOT believe, find it and give it a try, not big, less than meg, might even fit on DD floppy :)
