Now I want Windows 3.1 on a Raspberry Pi.

@pony I've been looking into that for a long time.

@pony Oh, I meant the Pi.

@pony I'm not sure it would run on the Pi's ARM SOC. The structures are just too fundamentally different from what Windows expects
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 22:48:21 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark True. Also, there's like a list of the compatible operating systems for it on the site.

@chris I already have a raspberry pi. I can see it from where I'm laying even. Running Debian.
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 22:50:45 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Is Debian good on it? I've been planning on getting the Pi with the extra ports

@chris It's working fine for me. It's running a bunch of ASIC bitcoin miners connected via USB. It plug-and-played with all of those AND my wifi dongle. Mine's...whichever model comes with 2 USB and an ethernet port.

@ceruleanspark Ooh.

@ceruleanspark Windows 3.1 runs flawlessly in DOSBox.

@ceruleanspark you can actually run it through DOSbox, but obviously that's not native.

@ceruleanspark Ah hmm. Then a VM might not help?
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 22:57:00 UTC from web-
@pony You could run it in a VM. I can't see why you'd actually want that, because it'd be horrible
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 22:58:09 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Horrible because it's Win 3.1 or horrible for some other reason?
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 23:01:17 UTC from web-
@pony Horrible because the Pi acts kinda weird if you overwork it because of its anemic power supply.
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 23:02:58 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark ooh. Interesting. :/
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 23:10:46 UTC from web-
@pony It's powered by one of those Mini-USB connectors (If you're good with a soldering iron you can replace it with a proper connection, but most people...aren't), so it can only draw as much power as the USB spec allows, which is barely enough to run a mouse and keyboard, the network card and keep reading properly from the SD card. (Cards frequently get corrupted during normal operation because of this specific issue)
Wednesday, 05-Mar-14 23:12:26 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Are they likely to keep improving the design still or are the current models it?
