Has anyone tried Breadbox Ensemble on this 486sx DOS core? Originally sold as GeoWorks Ensemble, it's the PC version of GEOS on C64, C128, Apple II and others.
Source is at https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos if interested.

Re: Breadbox Ensemble?
I have an older GEOWORKS ensemble that ive had set up since the early days of the 486 core and it seems to work quite well .. Ive had the disk IMG files for eons originally made from my own copies of Geoworks Ensemble 2.0 .. I set it up years ago when the core first dropped not sure if I did anything special (I personally don't recall needing to).. the early versions of the graphics in the core had weird artifacts but thats gone now.. I havent tried getting the software emulated modem stuff working but its on my to-do to configure it and give it a go. It probably works fine (its just more lack of time on my end to actually take the time to do it)

Re: Breadbox Ensemble?
I haven't tried it but I have a GeoWorks CD that came with the SCSI CD-ROM that we added to my am386-SX back in the day. I can't imagine that it wouldn't work with a 486SX. I'll have to dig it out and try it.

I have it running along with Geoworks 2.0 and Windows 3.1 on one of my MiSTers. Just for nostalgic reasons. I was a big fan of Geoworks at the time.
