Mastercam and VMWare

[Dave Eno]

Has anyone ever tried running Mastercam on a VMWare Windows 2000 session?

 

VMWare is a product for Linux that will 'boot' Windows sessions, running Windows in a window! I've seen it work, and I'm impressed.

 

Thanks for your input.

I've tried it with Wine on RedHat 7.2 and had HASP problems. If I had $300 US to blow, perhaps I'd try VMWare, but a Linux-native version of Mastercam would be way kewler (and faster with no virtual machine)

Yeah, that'll happen. I'd rather have Multiple processor support.

You got it, James. Support for SMP would be nice. I'd make the Linux version a low priority, but a free and stable OS could be part of a great sales pitch

Hello ,Bullines !

You can get Vmware demo version.

And you can find it even in some distributives.

I saw it in some.

Personally i prefare Mandrake over Red Hat .

My first linux was Red Hat 4 with Xwindows manager TWM.

At home I have 3 self made PC`s and in all I

have one Linux version minimum.

The WINE is a good program THAT IS A PAIN to configure for the complex programs .

You configure it by hand taking in mind all specific devices directories and so on.

I tried Intellicad on Wine .Not very stable.

I used to play windows games on wine that`s all.

But linux is a far much better OS than Windows.

And far more comfortable when you Know it.

And never you will have the blue screen of death.

But I think it will never be introduced seriously in business cause most of users are computer illiterate people and LInux been are UNIX clone demands a good knowledge base .

 

OFF topic - How many of you people saw Macintosh emulation on PC ?

For example Basilisk under Linux or Windows ?

Along with Basilisk and vMac, there's a new one that I've read about called Softmac and it looks quite promising. I don't think any of them support MacOS X yet; even though it's just BSD underneath it all anyway

Bullines !

The Softmac requires for stable work rom card.

Even with it it has more bugs than Basilisk or Fusion.

The last two are stable like rocks and work nice with sound support ,cd-rom support and network.Works with MacOS8. Not emulate PPC.

Vmac emmulates only Macintosh Plus and because of it you do not have colours and can emulate only up to MacOS7.5.5.

My First Cad-Cam at work was AuraCad-AuraMill

and because of it I am slightly Macintosh crasy.

Don't feel crazy. There's nothing wrong with Macs, except for any with an "i" in the product name (iMac, iBook)
