Well here's my two-pence worth...

TOS 1.02 in my upgraded STFM

Win XP SP2 on my main PC, Win 98 on a development box I have and SuSE and Mandrake (Mandriva - or whatever it's called now!) on two basic Liux boxes. Although one of those is going to have to go...

I have,
WinXP SP2 on this PC (no other OSs on this, my main computer).
I have no idea what OS is on my 4 meg STE,
My old Dell P3 600 has Win98SE (handy for those MSDOS games

)

With regards to Worms, I love that game, and play it often on another system I have, what a fine example of gaming genius that game is!

Desktop PC - Ubuntu Linux 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) / Windows XP SP2 (rarely)

Laptop - Ubuntu Linux 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)

ST 1 - TOS 1.02
ST 2 - TOS 1.04
STe - TOS 1.62
Falcon - Dunno, whatever the default F030 TOS was (still learning way around Falcy!)

Work - XP SP2 and OSX 10.4

Post by **Mug UK** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 10:34 am

Home - both PCs running XP SP2

Work - Laptop running XP SP2

Atari - Mega STE2 .. still not unpacked and set up since the house move, so without booting it, I'm assuming it's the standard TOS version for Mega STE's

Xbox - Evolution-X - although probably not the latest version.

Ok, here goes..

Falcon no 1:- Tos 4.01 in original configuration, patched TOS 4.04 for CT60 mode, also Magic 6.01 patched for CT60, also Cripplemint for SDL stuffs.

Falcon no 2:- Tos 4.04 built in, Also Magic 6.01 best advised for use with it in CT2 mode. Did I mention Jinnee desktop to go with these?

In addition to those, I got Tos 4.92 beta floating around somewhere on a bootable disk.

STe, 'early' tos 1.6 complete with medium res booting bug

Mini Mac, OSX 10.4.2 (Tiger).

If including work, some shitty thing with Windows 2000, (ah well!)

Win2k at work? A bit too hi techn for my office, they use Windows NT running a DOS session, weirdly though they recently replaced all their hardware with top of the range P4's, which seems kinda overkill for what we do, but whoever found logic in the workplace?

Mega Ste tos 2.06
A few Ste s tos 1.62 & 1.06
Mega St
Stfm tos 1.04

Gemulator with tos 2.06 on Windows 98 SE
I run Magic on the TT but I never was able to get Magic 5 to run on the Falcon.

Its not strictly an OS more a few invaluable OS enhancements: I run
Hotwire on Gemulator and the TT along with Maxifile and UIS 3.3 this works really well on Gemulator, means I often don't see the Atari desktop during computer sessions.
