6BQ5 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My Windows 10 and 130XE computers arent very close together. It would be a major undertaking to rearrange my computer lab. I was thinking it may be easier to get a small (used?) netbook computer dedicated to running RespeQt. It wouldnt need a lot of RAM or storage space. Any thoughts? Bad idea? Good idea?

I run RespeQt on Raspberry Pi boards so any “real” laptop will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I use 10 year old small laptops for the task don't think there should be an issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I have used an old Asus eeePC 904ha netbook; 2gb ram, running 32 bit XP Home Edition and respeqt. It runs with no issues. You won't need a lot of horsepower to run it and a netbook fits just fine on top of a 1050 floppy drive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't need a lot of horsepower to run it and a netbook fits just fine on top of a 1050 floppy drive. I tried Windows 10 32-bit on a 1GB Lenovo netbook, Serving RespeQt. The system was overall sluggish, but it worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I also have used an ASUS eeePC with Win7 to run APE. I've yet to find a Windows combo that APE didn't like. I also like RespeQt, but have much less experience with it. I especially like the support for Happy and Archivers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano DM Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Running RespeQT in a Raspberry PI 2 with Lotharek Sio2PC. It mostly works, sometimes I got write timeouts when running other apps, like opening a browser. ---- In the meanwhile 850 emulation is ready, would it be possible to make it ignore R: requests? so it can be ran at the same time as tcpser? Regards and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nezgar Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I think XP32 would run faster for you than W10. I agree, as that's what it came with originally. It illustrates that a machine underpowered for W10 will still actually run RespeQt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
