Hi guys,
Atm I'm just using 800x600 via Ratte's SuperPlus Monitor driver.
P96 via Lutz's driver is not as much responsive (still in beta) but the pros is the pseudo RTG meaning you take advantage of P96 stuff.

Only drawback of not using native modes like PAL/NTSC is the thing Indivision ECS has at changing modes from SuperPlus or HighGFX to Lo-Res when playing for example games...
(Indy logo with some delay almost unpredictable).


That's handy to know. I will just stick to 800x600 then. But if you need another test machine let me know and I would be happy to try it.

I'm presently giving OS 3.9 a shot again. I have a 80Mhz 060 with 32Mb of RAM on it, but that didn't seem to help...

...at first.

Then I began to learn about the wide world of patches, modules and the like and I've been a happy camper since! Once you get the right patches applied, OS 3.9 really begins to shine.

 I have always been a huge fan of Directory Opus 5.x as well. I would even run it even if my system was too slow, but now I can run it with OS 3.9 and my system still seems just as responsive if not more so than my initial install. Likewise many games and applications run better as well.

Of course owning an Indivision MKII probably helps a bit too.

Lack of interest in hunting down patches and configuring crap is why I went with ClassicWB instead ;)

@ Lassie:
 
Your A4000 and A1200 should get something close with a 256 colour screenmode (of course they won't get those 1920x1080 screens). My A2000 looks almost the same, except it is a lower resolution via a Cybervision643D RTG card.
 
All your A2000 and the 4MB A600 will manage the same ClassicWB as my Minimig.
 
If you decide to have a go at installing ClassicWB and have problems then post here. We'll help with any questions.
 
Here's the link to ClassicWB home page:
http://classicwb.abime.net/
 
Read the minimum specs on the different versions and decide which on is best for you.

Thanks for the link, Darrin.
Once again you provide something that lures me back to old hardware.

LOL.  You're welcome.  Suddenly I feel like a crack dealer.  :D

No, a crack habit would probably be cheaper (and no more likely to upset the wife).:laugh1:
