Here is my x5000

Glad to see another happy X5K user on board.  It's not perfect but it sure is fun to use.  Another fun app is Celestia on OS4 Depot.  Besure to check out the "demo" mode by pressing "d' when it is started.  I would also recommend checking out SketchBlock, fantastic native software.

Cheers!

I am thinking of buying one to run my maths progs that I created on a 4000 040 with a math coprocessor. Would it be faster? If so by how much?

Thanks for your response. I've never seen one of these emulators work. Are they really OK, or do they have some operating limitation?

I wrote my progs many years ago using HiSoft basic compiled. They have run every day for 12 hours or so for twenty years, doing repetitive probability calculations. The machine has burnt its A3640 card but the cpu is ok according to Leaman computing. I am worried that an emulator on a laptop would overheat if run all the time and would not be as quick as the new X5000. As this is important the cost of the new machine is secondary. I can sell the bits off the 4000 040 to help the cost. Thanks again

You surprise me that the x5000 is not as fast as a bog standard pc with emulation. Is that really so?

Thanks for your help. I will struggle on trying to get my 4000 040 back on but I am very tempted to get the x5000!!

Sure.

The qemu plugin for FS-UAE on the download page is only for x86/x86-64, but that should be a matter of building, AFAIK qemu also exists for PowerPC.

This is beyond my comprehension, what is AFAIK and qemu?
