| LC II to hold me over | |
| Posted by: jhorvath911 on 2015-02-09 19:20:12 Well since I'm I'm the middle of getting my collection back up and running I figured I would pick up a little LC II off eBay. And yes I'm running SoftPC there which is a little painful but interesting at the same time.  | |
| Posted by: Juliet Elysa on 2015-02-09 20:28:32 Nice find! 🙂 Never heard of SoftPC, what does it do? | |
| Posted by: unity on 2015-02-09 21:02:30 SoftPC is like VirtualPC. Both are DOS emulators where one can run Windows on top, maybe. 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Juliet Elysa on 2015-02-09 23:23:05 Ah, gotcha. 🙂 Might have to look into a program like that, been curious about Windows 1 through 3.x lately. | |
| Posted by: jhorvath911 on 2015-02-10 03:14:12 Well I can tell you this version is probably not the one you want to use. I believe it is only emulating like a 286. I mostly just installed it to see if I could get it to run with only having 4mb of ram in my LC along with about 20mb of free hard disk space. | |
| Posted by: Elfen on 2015-02-10 07:34:22 Soft PC and VirtualPC can go up to Windows 98/NT and if you push it ME/2000 on a 603e PPC or fast 68040. The issue is you need a lot of RAM, the more RAM the fast it will run. But an LCII? It would make a great DOS Box. You just want to up the RAM to the Max on the LC. If you emulate EGA Graphics, there were a lot of great DOS Games. And of you can find it, VisiCalc was made public domain a few years ago. | |
