Did you tried that PCTask hardfile on a modern PC running WinUAE? You may get proper speed in that case. And it could also fly with the Natami soon.

It makes sense to launch those alternative OS because it is always useful to be able to use some softwares, like Word 6 or old Photoshop on the Shapeshifter Macintosh.

Anything a person should know when installing Win95 through pc-task?

Thanks in advance :)
It's slow as hell, on 060/50 it took probably 2.5 hours to install. Booting took 2.5 to 3.5 minutes. And window opening was clearly slower than on 060/90. For me it bluescreened very easily mostly requiring a reinstall. I preferred Dos to do something.

@zipper

Yeah, I wouldnt bother installing it on my a1200 (40mhz '040), but Im wanting to give it a try on my amithlon box (3.86ghz core2duo, 32 meg matrox g550, sb audigy,1 gig ram... ie. fully supported system). Given that its probably 100x or more faster than my 40mhz '040 I think it should perform reasonably well. I used to Play PC Wing Commander 2 on an old athlon xp 1800+ amithlon box and it ran very well, so the 4x (per core) as fast c2d should be quite nippy.  :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Nice effort, too bad it hangs eventually. If you've got some time to kill, try out 98Lite, which is a cut-down version of win98. It might just run on your machine, although I tried installing it at mine (upgrade from win95) and kept getting installer lockups.
