Is it painfully slow on a plain-jane 68000 >processor? Does having lots of fast ram (8megs) help? I've run DCTV on nothing but 68000 based machines and find it quite nice. The only part that gets a bit clunky is when you have largish brushes. I worked with a 3 meg 500 w/old agnus and it was just fine. DCTV also comes with 1 megabyte versions of the program modules so 3 megs in not absoloutly required. I haven't tried it in this configuration so I couldn't tell you how functional it is in that config. --------------------------------------- | patrick_meloy@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca | | 'The Outbound' BBS Vancouver BC | ---------------------------------------
