Meanwhile, I've had mixed results with a Ryzen 5 3600. Using VMware 12.5.9 and setting "Intel VT-x or AMD-V" manually did actually work. However, using a more recent version of VMware 16.x didn't work at all.

PCem always provides (provided?) a good alternative to VMs like VMware or Virtualbox as it does not suffer from the lack of CPU features like broken VME on Ryzen machines.... It's a shame that people won't stop offending such great spirits behind PCem, until the whole project is dead...

You can also use WebDAV on QNAP to access your NAS share from Windows 95. On the Windows 95 side you'll need at least IE5 with the optional webfolders feature installed.

Unfortunately, Infineon was founded 1999, so there's no FPM RAM for 486 to be expected from them.

Wow this is great news! Sorry for the following silly questions: - Which NRPN tool would you recommend to perform bank switching under DOS? - What is the default bank? - Will the X2GS remember the last bank switch or does it have to be switched again on every reboot?
