- I just finished an all-nighter with one of the higher end CTX models (2megs
- of VRAM, with 4x CD ROM, 16megs of ram, and a Pentium 151.) E/D works
- awsomely (I got ResEdit to run w/o crashing, though some picker items
- couldn't be seen, also ran Disinfectant.) The only problem I had (and I
- was running 1.99q at the time) was that you had to disable the sound with
- the -nosound switch. The reason was, every time I tried to load executor,
- it would hang. Evidently there was a glitch with the built in sound card.
- (Run the emulator from windows - it will allow you to abort in case of
- problems without rebooting!)
-
- According to Cliff (I talked to him at 2am this morning) 1.99q12 should
- automatically disable the sound option if there's a problem, so your milage
- will probably vary. Otherwise, everthing worked pretty well...
-
- Try before you buy your laptop - and good luck!
