Running CNet 5.21b on WinUAE under A4000 68040, runs fast and probably better
then it would have on real hardware. My next step is updating it to a PPC
emulation to get just a bit more speed out of it. I have found AMiga Forever
is nice for getting started and getting back into the Amiga side of things,
and to own the roms, but once you are up to speed, WinUAE is the way to go.
There is so much you can do with WinUAE.. On FW2 there is a guide to
installing CNet in WinUAE.. It's for the beginner but is a good refresher for
the seasoned person too.
