Welp that killed that idea.. I was on it yesterday, didn't seem to dreadfully
slow. It ran pretty decent.. I think the main slowness is like all systems
not on a Lt Kernal or CMD Hard drive is drive access. The only reason my
Image 1.2 board on the uIEC/SD is decently quick is because the CPU is
running at 24mhz. The way I see it is the 128 version passed from 1 person to
the next after Ken Pletzer sold it off, I think theres been like 5
programmers on it. Like you said it's a mess but at least you got it running.
I tried in Vice a few months back and gave up on it after an hour. Although,
I just might come and download it as my cousin wants to put his old board
back up and he was running CNet 12.0 originally then Image, but he doesn't
want to run Image this time around because he wants to be different from the
pack. Maybe I will send him to the 128 Version of CNet if we can get it
running in Vice.. Worth a shot..
