Using TCP/IP with software x86 emulators?
« on: January 07, 2007, 04:10:34 AM »
Are there any software-based x86 emulators on which a DOS-based TCP/IP stack can be used?  That is, do any of them have an interface to the underlying host Amiga's network card or TCP/IP stack?

I'm using a version of PC Task I bought second-hand and it works with MS-DOS 6.22 quite well.  It would be handy to be able to map drives to both host Samba and network shares, as well as some ftp, wget, and other Internet utility usage.

[EDIT: Specifically on Classic AmigaOS]

Hi,

Bochs will let you do this, but I'm not sure about the status of the Amiga port.

It'll almost certainly be unusably slow though...

I doubt the ancient PC-Task and PCx have networking capabilities. Perhaps you could do something with the serial port and a serial connection to another computer? Perhaps a connection from the Amiga serial (in use by the emulator) to an addon serial port in a Zorro slot or something?
