the project did not have a purpose extending beyond nostalgia. I have no idea what you would use it for though. You can get a 100% overclock on the AMD 386 processors, so technically it should be possible to setup a 100MHz 3x86 with an OS that looks just like Windows XP and has the same underlying kernel. Calmira just doesn't do it for me because icon selection is so peculiar that it fails to fool users, but I did once try to make a 1990 25MHz 386SX with 4Mb run Windows NT 3.1 (which should work) and then customise the shell to make it look like NT 5.1
Calmira xp not looking like xp skin#
There is an XP skin for Calmira but I do not know how good that is. The best thing I got a 386 to do was play Mario Bros., Trolls, and other platform games (though I installed a word processor & PSP aswell) That might have been skinnable with one of the regular Win9x/NT gadgets like eFX I have a pre-release of Explorer 4 -beta which looks like Win9x/NT4 and was intended as a demonstration for Windows NT 3.51 users.
To customise it, I planned to use either Calmira XP or try to force a modern Microsoft shell to run on NT 3. I think, computers of that age, would have connected a CD-ROM to the soundcard IDE interface You need to set the twitches on the IDE controller manually but I had no manual. There is a lack of documentation for those old pre-PnP computers. I moved it's 450Mb HDD to my PC with the intent of copying the setup files but my modern system could not read/write to such an old HDD! This project failed because Windows NT 3.1 was on CD and 386 could not accomodate such a drive.
Calmira xp not looking like xp code#
There is an XP skin for Calmira but I do not know how good that is. The Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 source code that was leaked online last week on 4chan has been confirmed to be authentic after a YouTube user compiled the code into working operating systems.
