Hi folks,

I just ordered a brand new ACA-1230/56 from Individual Computers, sporting a Motorola 68030 running at 56 MHz and providing 64 MB of FastRAM. I haven't been using my A1200 for a while and also I'm not up-to-date what kind of software there's currently available. Besides the plans to install Debian Linux (68k) plus upgrading the installed OS3.1 to OS3.9, does anyone have any software recommendations for my soon to be boosted miggy?

Hiya,

You could give ScummVM AGA a go (AmiNet), I'm still waiting for someone with one of the new 56Mhz 030's to try it out for me (hint, hint).  

Run first SysInfo and find out what MIPS and HD transfer rate your getting with your box.   MIPS should be 12+ and your transfer rate 2MB's+, if not you need to run the ACTune utility and look up SpeedyIDE.

There's also an experimental version that runs Discworld over in the EAB Zone which you might want to give a wirl.

Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!
