    Is there a way to make the leave feedback portion of the New User login process optional? I am getting a lot of new users who are getting deleted I assume because I am seeing "Didn't leave feedback". Lets be honest in this day and age I don't really need to know what you do for fun?!?!? LOL Is there a way around it?? Thanks...

    Yep, it can be disabled in the nodes setup i scfg. In scfg go into nodes -> Node 1 -> advanced options and set the validation user to 0.

    Do that for each node you want to behave that way.. probably all of them.

    I'd prefer a 386 with VGA, better memory management and later versions of OS/2 were 32 bit anyway. Even before I ran OS/2, I remember upgrading to the 386 was a breath of fresh air, because I could finally use QEMM/386 and also DV could run multiple DOS sessions, each with their own conventional memory (thanks to virtual 8086 mode). The ultimate would have been something like a 486DX4100 with 32M RAM and SVGA. OS/2 would have flown on such a machine (mine never had that much RAM in those days :( ). :)

    YES!! 486/DX100! GREAT chipset!! I had that set up, with ALOT less RAM! Til
    I figured out that If you had alot of RAM above average video card and a sub par CPU ii ran MUCH better than having above average CPU, Below Par Memory
    and average Video Card.

    I can't reember, but I'm trying to remember all the chipset makers for IBM Compat. I know there was Intel and AMD but wasn't there ONE more that didn't last long? I knokw Motorola did Amiga/Commodore.. Who did Apple/Mac and

    Yes, I learned early on RAM was the key. But what I could afford was the limiting factor back then, unlike today, where the hardware is so cheap. Video cards certainly mattered more for general use too, I was more picky then. Today, it's mainly gamers who need high end cards (and those who use GPUs for number crunching). My usage rarely demands much from the GPU. :) I have no interest in the games. Number crunching is potentially of interest, especially if I do a lot of movie rendering, that's the more likely reason I might want a half decent GPU.

    IBM Compat. I know there was Intel and AMD but wasn't there ONE more
    that didn't last long? I knokw Motorola did Amiga/Commodore.. Who did Apple/Mac and Atari?

    Apple went through 3 iterations. Initially they were Motorola based, starting with the 68030 IIRC. Then they went to IBM's PowerPC platfform, before finally switching to Intel. On the PC, there was Cyrix (IBM) for a while in the 386/486 days.

    Now adays we don't see much speed improvement in cpu's. They have been
    stuck at around the 3.xGhz for a while. (Discounting overclocking).

    Indeed, the biggest speed gains come from the storage. My 10 year old 2.4 GHz Q6600 outperforms this 3.2 GHz i5-4460, which is only a few years old. And this PC also has twice the RAM (8GB vs 4GB). But I recently installed a SSD in the older machine, and that really lifted its performance. This PC is still running a conventional spinning HDD.

    I can't forget an AMI WinBios GUI some mainboards of that era used to have.
    I loved it. A couple of months back I discovered a PCem v14, it's a PC Emulator that allows you to pick a specific hardware to emulate. And it can do WinBios ROMs.
    Very nice emulator, if you want to run Windows 95/98. It can emulate Voodoo cards even,
    and it gives you the whole retro PC experience, wich includes looking for a good
    drivers :)

    Try looking at Amiga's now, there are the new X1000 and X5000 machines, PowerPC's the x5000 is $2g! I'll keep emulating it on my PC!! I picked up a Dell off lease i5 3.4ghz with 1TB HD and 8 Gigs Ram built in 2015 from eBay
    for $85 guess what it is doing in addition to running my 2 BBS'? Running a

    I never had an Amiga before. And now I really want to. I tried emulating
    an older version of Amiga and I was pretty much impressed by the way the Workbench looks and works. I guess it was a blast for it's time.

    I salvaged a Powermac G5 in perfect condition from the dumpster, but according to AmigaOS web site it is not compatible with AmigaOS 4.1 :( And the prices for
    current Amiga hardware is kind of out of this world. Yeah, you got to be a really big fan to pay $2k for the mainboard with CPU :(

    Did you try MorphOS? I really want to try it out on Powermac, it should be compatible, I just need to get a screen for it :)

When I upgraded and bought a A3000 a much faster machine, I did all of that plus ran a BBS, had 2 modems hooked up to it so I could call out without having to take the BBS down. It was the first true Multitasking computer of it's time..


    I salvaged a Powermac G5 in perfect condition from the dumpster, but according to AmigaOS web site it is not compatible with AmigaOS 4.1 :(
    And the prices for current Amiga hardware is kind of out of this world. Yeah, you got to be a really big fan to pay $2k for the mainboard with
    CPU :(

    Did you try MorphOS? I really want to try it out on Powermac, it should
    be compatible, I just need to get a screen for it :)


    Amiga OS 4.1 is nice, I am shocked how up to date it is even though it was created many years ago.. I am running that on my Emulator to run the BBS.. I did try MorphOS, didn't spend enough time with it though. I spent $35 (yea
    $35 for a OS) and wanted to get that running on my Emulator.. I will install MorphOS on another Emulator and play around with it some. Plus there is
    Icaros which is another fork off the Amiga OS.. I tried that also for a bit.
    I will play with that one a little more too... It's fun playing with these
    old computers... :)

    And it can do WinBios ROMs.
    Very nice emulator, if you want to run Windows 95/98. It can emulate Voodoo cards even,

    I never owned an Amiga either, but I did work on an A2000 in the early 1990s - at the time, I was the only one in the factory who could work out how to use it, so it became "my" machine. :) A friend at uni has an A1000 when I was studying. That was an amazing machine for its time, with capabilities that the PC took years to gain.

    Are you using Amiga Forever for emulation? I just found that I can't run MorphOS on my PPC machine as the OS does not support nVidia FX5200 I have currently installed.

    May be later I'd be able to salvage an ATI Radeon for PowerMac, then I'll get back to it.

    Good for you, for $35 it's worth it, at least in my eyes.. I am using WinUAE,
    I googled a bunch of info and found a package that had a config file in it which set everything up perfectly. along with instructions to install. I
    found it on the English Amiga Board, it was in the support.WinUAE forum
    titled OS4.1 Classics how to install. You will need the roms for it though
    and that is where Amiga Forever comes in to play. That has all the ROMS, what ever else you will need will be in links in that post.. The only thing I changed was because I am using this particular setup (I will be installing on another computer as a stand alone) I used directory drives instead of the
    .vhd files that was suggested. On the standalone system I will put together
    it will be the .vhd drives.. I had to make some tweaks also to get the BBS running on it but those are minor and if you aren't going to run a BBS they
    are useless to you.. Let me know if you have any questions.. :)

    old. And this PC also has twice the RAM (8GB vs 4GB). But I recently installed a SSD in the older machine, and that really lifted its performance. This PC is still running a conventional spinning HDD.

    I've been using two ssd's in my personal machine for sereral years. The
    boot drive is a 64gb SSD, and have a second for the home drive.

    Both my server's have 500Gb ssd in raid1, and they fly. The only spinning

    Try looking at Amiga's now, there are the new X1000 and X5000 machines, PowerPC's the x5000 is $2g! I'll keep emulating it on my PC!! I picked up

    Some decked out A4000/3000's go for nearlly that price. The prices on

    I'll keep my modest A4000 setup as it does what I want from a old girl.

    I don't blame you.. I was looking at prices when I decided to get back into
    the Amiga world and saw a a500 pretty much stock (Same setup as I gave away 3 years ago) for $900.. It was pretty pitiful! I've never seen computers go UP
    in price before, but the Amiga? Oh yea...

    Nice. :) The older PC (now runs Linux) has a 250GB SSD. That's plenty of space as I don't need the bulk storage on that one. It was sluggish with a HDD, but now that machine often outperforms this one (which has a 1TB HDD).

    New parts are hard to imposable to find. Eg: I had a cyberstorm '060 in
    my A3000, and just one day after doing a reboot it refused to work. I
    stripped the machine down to the bare bones, and it still refused to
    work.

    I even had the extra modules for it, and as someone else was wanting the modules I gave them the whole lot for just the price of the extra
    modules.

    The A3000 mb, now sits in a anti-static bag on the shelf.

    I'm planing on installing linux on my A4000, but sofar it's not worked.

    Yeh they have come down a lot in the past six months, so much that I'm
    now doing a lot of new machines with a 250GD SSD, and even doing upgraded
    from standard hd's to SSD's. (I'm about to do a laptop upgrade next
    week).

    $130AUD for a Samsung 250GD SSD, is now way down on what they used to be.

    I've changed clients systems from spinning disk's to ssd and they can't
    beleive how much more responsive and quick the machine has become. Foe
    example, on clients machine went from 3-5minutes to be usable, to being
    ready in 30seconds. They where willing to pay the extra price after
    seeing that result.

    I guess you are right, I will stick to my Emulated systems.. Just pulled the BBS off the PPC emulator and went back to a regular 4000 with AOS3.9 the 4.1 although really sweet just gave me too many problems with CNet..

    I had a Cyrix 386 if I recall at one stage. :)



    Trying to think.... I'm sure I had one too, but not for too long, If
    I'm not mistaken, they were bad for overheating? Maybe that was another chipset I'm thinking about that was around in the 80's or 90's... ?

    Mine never gave any trouble, it was a good system.

    The mouse tracking issue is why I don't run any emulated Amiga's. Plus it does help that I have a real hardware machine on the desk. #-)

    They still MAKE Amigas?! lol.... I'll have to look that up! Yeah, same case as me, I picked up my linux box off of the letgo app, for 50 bucks, running 6 BBS programs flawlesly!


    Yea unbelievably so, it's a outside company making a clone, but it's still around... I'll be honest I am running 3 VM'd BBS' on a Win 10 machine, I am starting to kick myself for not installing Linux as the host. The system
    really gets bogged when all 3 are going or doing something at the same
    time... Seriously gonna spend a saturday changing over...

    Because it is still being actively programmed and is still a commercial
    program but he is only charging like $10 for it..

    I'm gonna do a google search about those Amigas, I am curious!

    Linux is WONDERFUL for running multiple BBS'es on. I was in the hospital for surgery in June, I had Mystic, Enigma, Magicka, Syncrhonet, and Searchlight (DOS) running. running 40+ doors, echomail, file areas.. and for 3 weeks it ran flawlessly while I was away. :)

    No two places seam to have them at the same price. #-(

    I got mine from Centre-Com. :)

    That explains a lot.

    Yep. You should get yourslef a early christmas present. ;-))

    Yeah, if the budget will stretch far enough, before the end of October,
    so I can use it more efficiently when I'm in Mandurah. :)

    It's my last working Amiga. The A3000 mb is flakey at the best of times,

    Well you'll enjoy the info on the new Amiga's.. There is supposedly a A1255
    or something like that coming out soon too..

    I'm gonna start playing with Mint again. I liked it a lot when I was trying
    it out.. I will say this though, Memory makes the world go around.. I just jumped my VM Lab machine to 16gigs of ram and wow what a difference.. All 3 BBS' can breath again.. I am going to push the limits though and throw my
    game server on the same machine and see how it runs. If I do that, then I am killing my dial up node, only a couple of people have used it and it works maybe 3% of the time...
