and has been asking comments how MUI4/5 performs on real systems.


That one is easy - it doesn't.

Heh, well, it does say that it's targeted at higher end systems.

I was just pointing out that it *does* work, providing you have the right hardware. To say that it' doesn't work just needs correcting.

MUI 5.0 is working with ACA620/16 MHz. Probably not as fast as MUI 3.8, but it's *working*.

Did you do a fresh install or install over-top of an existing 3.8 install?

What classic/68K MUI applications have you tested with it?

I'm just asking because I've seen a ton of posts from folks who've had issues with later versions (especially, it seems like, 3.9 was particularly problematic).  It might help folks in the future to document any steps taken or particular challenges when using versions later than "good 'ole" 3.8.  ;)

Probably over-top of existing 3.8 install. Not sure if it was 4.0 or 5.0, at least not as new as 2016R3.

Maybe I have to take my A600 out from storage and check.

Anyway, iBrowse 2.4 with 020 and ECS is in no way considered "fun" no matter if it's MUI 3.8 or 5.0.

Setup: A600 with ACA620/16 MHz and 3COM PCMCIA running latest Roadshow68k.

The latest I had tested before was 4.0-2016R1.

I've gone 3.8 -> 4.0-2016R1 -> 3.8 -> 5.0-2016R3. iBrowse 2.4 is working fine, but I tested it only for 5-10 minutes. If I should complain about anything it's the fact that the default fonts are clearly chosen for modern screen resolutions, not ECS low-res.

So iBrowse 2.5 in combination with MUI 5.0 (both in 020 versions) should probably be fine.

Im assuming my Bliz 030 IV with FPU is probably too slow for this update.
