Chris:
Hey, Peale... I don't suppose you've tried DOSCab Jukebox on that 486, have you?  I'm dying to know how low of a machine it'll run on...

SirPeale:
Sorry, Chris, I haven't played with your program @ all, I'm afraid.  But on your request I will.

Thank you very much! I will be trying that as soon as all my HD's come in. I'm wondering tho, what the minimum specs would be to run it? Do you 'spose a couple of my Pent 1 & 2's will handle it? Or even my old 486? Or should I stick too my original Vantage & ArcadeOS plan that JoyM is so kindly helping me with on all of them?  :)

EndTwist:
IMHO, stick with VAntAGE for the 486 and P1, the P2 can handle MAME 0.36 if its ~300mhz. Anything less, stick to VAntAGE.

IG-88:
They are all 233mhz and less. I will try Fraggal's Mame Installer CD when and if I get some "newer"  ;)  models.
