I know it's a shame it'll never get up streamed. Es40 gets more attention at the moment and is the current king of Windows on Alpha emulation. https://github.com/ES40-Emu/es40 You'…

when testing native builds I was using a Xeon E5v2. why bother with anything slow as a p3?

DLL's were the most involved part of the port.

I've no idea why so many people struggle with this.

I have to admit, that I was surprised when they all came back good! We already had the SDK on 3 1/2" disks, so we could compare the contents. Oddly enough all the executables, libr…

It's the full OS + SDK and the networking bits & kernel debugger as well!

It’s really cool to run dec alpha binaries on x86!

Pharlap 386 is mentioned on Links386, although its flies on by, and special->about

Pharlap's TNT was way more exciting to be honest. I'm still trying to find the first early extenders though from 1987/88 no leads though.

Wow that's pretty cool! I first found out I had some virus when I was hex editing my boot/root floppy disks for Linux back in 92? I'd just compiled a kernel and forgot to set the r…

I'd only zapped the partition table... https://virtuallyfun.com/2009/12/03/partitioning-with-debug/

Nah, it was wp-mail-smtp. It completely crashed out on me. > PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: ActionScheduler_Action::set_schedule(): Argument #1 ($schedule) must be of type Ac…

I'm hoping to pull it out of storage and give it an update. There is newer processors, although they are still about the same price, and I'm not sure it's all that worth it.

I was able to cross compile from windows to BOW https://virtuallyfun.com/2023/12/12/cross-compiling-to-bsd-o...

Load it on arca https://archive.org/details/bsd-on-windows If be more interested if that runs ..

you clearly havent tried it on real hardware, BOW is pretty awesome. Yes I too was doing IT in the mid 90's and did far more than my share of widnows 3.1 with win32s. If you'd look…

yes I was hoping to do an update after I had help finding the author, and to see if there was any potential of an update. It's late breaking & live. And it seems all the engagement…

I'd like to think it'd have had some subtantial tracktion back in the day, being able to overlay your work windows 3.1 machine with BSD. It has some DDE exchange I haven't tried to…

You're looking too close to the trees gcc/vi instead of the BSD forest. BOW's only weakness is its single user mode, more so a limitation of being a Win16. If it'd been pushed hard…

I just cobbled together IRC 2.9. I don't see why anything else more useful could build. Ive also built Apache 1.3.1 and gotten it to run. https://archive.org/details/apache131_for_…

SFU replaced the posix subsystem with an OpenBSD port and more capable thing for NT/2000 etc. SFU was so much later to the game, while BOW ran on Windows 3.1 which would have been …

not really, the exe's are a.out so it's more like EMX. It's broken up like services more like HURD, and extended to 32bit on Win16. It's far more cooler being able to run on Window…

I dont suppose you have coherent 8086/80286 at all? I should have ordered it as a kid but I'd been told so many times to never trust mailorder. It still bugs me I didn't send in th…

probably too mainstream, there was other hacked ways of running linux on windows using debuggers and other memory map hacks...

Indeed! What makes this version interesting is that it brings the retail interpreter to the PDP-11 to give access to not only Zork1/2/3 but planet fall, and a host of the rest of t…
