Hello,

Is it possible to run C=Net or AmigaExpress under Amiga Forever with Workbench 1.3 installed and running?

Thanks

I would doubt they would run on 1.3, I don't remember if 1.3 had Hard Drive compatibility?!?! You are running Amiga Forever just use 3.1 that comes with it. CNet runs great under that.. I currently run CNet under 3.9 and have run
it under 4.1 but it's a little rough around the edges on 4.1..

I ran C-Net 3.5 on WorkBench 1.3 a long time ago on real hardware. Like Al says, I think you should try v5 on WB3.1 or better.

AmigaOs 1.3 was the first version that could boot directly from a hard drive. Earlier versions could use them but you needed to boot from a floppy.

Nice.. You will like 3.x whether it is 3.1.4 or 3.9, even 3.1 with the right addon's they are all really good. I run my BBS on 3.9, it is very stable and runs very nice..

WB3.1 has been my backbone for the last 9 years. Its just enough to run a dedicated BBS. Now for playing around with WB3.9 would be nice. I am thinking on re-doing my Amiga Laptop to a new version of WB over 3.1

correct, it was just evolution harddisk that maked a hack to make it boot on kickstart 1.2

crap, but it worked :)

Cool.. You will like it especially since you have all the ROMS and install disks needed to get going.. Be careful with VM's running the emulators they will slow you down. Basically, you are running a emulator inside an emulator.
I found I just run WinUAE on a seperate PC which I consider my Amiga PC...

Be careful with the Corona! I am just getting over it, I was fine for 11 days then all hell broke loose!! I ended up in the hospital because I was so badly dehydrated, because I couldn't keep anything down, not even water!! When I
got to the hospital they tried to get blood and the poor nurse was literally punching my arm with all her might to get a vein but they were all
collapsing! So my advice? Don't screw around with it, stay hydrated even if
you can't keep anything down do your best to, and if you feel even a little dehydrated get your doctor on the phone and see what they want to do!~! This thing almost killed me!!

Thank you, I really appriciate it.

C-Net looks to work pretty rock solid from what I've seen from calling. I've only seen a handful of AmigaExpress BBSes running. If I can't get it figured out, I'll prolly end up going to C-Net too

That was/is my long-term plan too. Can't do that til I move again though. I do have a spare desktop I was planning on installing ARCOS on. I've read/seen some good things about it. but I'm running Linux and I know it won't lag as bad as in Windows. I've had almost zero lag when running any VM's in linux/Ubuntu

I am running 3 VM's inside windows and have no lag on them.. It's when you
toss WinUAE inside a VM that you start to see lag.. My original plan with my boards was to have a VM for each one running off my Server, when I saw how
slow my CNet Amiga was inside the VM I knew it wasn't a good idea..
Hopefully, you won't experience a lag with Linux. I am moving my Server to a Linux based setup soon, I am hoping to get rid of all of the extra machines I have for each platform and just run VM's on it.. We'll see how it goes...

though. I do have a spare desktop I was planning on installing ARCOS on. I've read/seen some good things about it.

Bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre for $50. Upgraded to 12 GB & a 1 TB laptop drive I use for running ArcaOS. Got both at the same time as I got my tax refund back in February. Even upgraded the BIOS from 2013 to 2018.

Anyway...everything is seen by ArcaOS. Been working with getting Telegard/2 working with SIO2K...SGMail or D'Bridge for a front end & FastEcho or Fmail
for a JAM tosser. The reason is that TG/2 runs a JAM message base the same as Mystic. If Mystic eventually ends up with another OS/2-ArcaOS version...will head back to that.

You will like ArcaOS & many of the changes they have implemented. Want to
stay with Warp 4.52...the company has a package to provide you with drivers & such for I believe $49 a year. When I got my version...also signed up for a year of support for $58 a year. Many believe it is pricey...but when you consider the amount of money being paid for upgrading Windows...the cost
isn't that bad.

Got any questions...feel free to ask. Sean Dennis over at MicroNet has helped myself & others as well. Want to see what the future looks like for Arca Noae...head to this PR: https://tinyurl.com/y72s8yye.

Are all of your BBSes running under Windows? For some reason I thought you were using Linux too. How much RAM does your Windows PC have, and what type of CPU? I'm just curious.

My Linux BBS/Box I have a i5 Lenovo (Small Form-Factor), headless, 10G RAM, 1.5TB HDD, Ubuntu 19.04. I'm running Synchronet, Enigma-BBS, WWIV, and Mystic and I haven't had any issues with lag, that relates to my PC. I have had issues with connections (ISP).

I can't wait til I start working on AmigaExpess!

My first BBS computer I bought when I came back online almost 3 years ago was a older Intel Pentium system. After I transfered everything over to the Lenovo that PC has been collecting dust. I was planning on making that into either a OS/2 PC or a Amiga one. It has 2 modems in it. I'm planning on setting up a dial-in number. I have all the equipment for it.

I did install a older version of ArcaOS on that unused desktop. I'm not even sure where I downloaded it from, but it was a old version. Even with that, it looks pretty good. I did have some boot issues. It would hang on occasion so I put playing with it to the backburner.

I was looking for a P4 system...but for the cost of 1 of those...I can buy at least 2 of these POS systems.

That didn't occur to me about using a stock ThinkCentre as an Amiga PC with WinUAE. As stupid as prices are for actual hardware...I could get 10-12 of these systems for the cost of an actual Amiga system which might not even
work.

It does have some hangups once in a while...but whenever I get the board up & running...am going to let it run by itself.

Even found a Hobbes OS/2 CD set I got from Archive.org from 1995. Put that up...along with 4.52 to get others to start running it as well.

For sure, I'll be bugging you guys very soon!

NP!!! This has been a dream of mine to run a BBS under OS/2 with
Renegade...but with a native OS/2 version of Telegard...no reason to look at RG. Add to that if another version of Mystic for OS/2 comes out...will be running that...since TG/2 also does JAM message bases.

I have 3 seperate machines for my boards, my PC board (Mystic VM, and a SynchroNet Door Server) run in 2 sepeate VM's on 1 machine .. This machine
has 16gigs Ram, i3 3.5ghz. The 3rd VM on this machine will be handling my
next board which will most likely be SynchroNet because I have been working
on 1 in the background.

The other 2 machines are both i3's 3.3ghz 1 with 4 gigs ram the other with 8, one runs WinUAE for my C-Net Amiga board, and the other machine runs a
instance of WinVice which runs my C64 Image BBS v2.0 and it also handles the BBS Servers for my 2 other Image BBS on real hardware...

Hope that helps some.. One other comment the VM that handles my Mystic board also handles Appache for my website and my login server and InterBBS File Server...

Exactly why I picked it up.. All I needed from it was the ROMS, I purchased AOS4.1 used it for a short period found AOS3.9 at a garage sale and use that for my BBS.. Probably going to buy 3.1.4 one of these days..

I love the system! Mine only has 8G of Ram, I'm going to upgrade it, add atleast another 4, but prolly 8. I do like the fact that it's pretty much like having a laptop. I also plan on upgrading the HDD. I have a 1TB external and a 500G internal. I'd like to have a 2TB+ HDD. I am having trouble with certain USB hardware. I have 2 USB modems that I can get to init. in Linux (manually). If I go to reboot, linux doesn't see them. I have to unplug and replug them into the USB Ports. It does it on any USB Ports. I find that kind of strange.
