I have just started using Imagine on my Dell 486/66. I have noticed one conflict with emm386. When I type "imagine" to start the program, the screen blanks for a second, then returns to the Dos prompt. I tried this running both Dos 5.0 and Dos 6.0. As soon as I removed the line in my config.sys file that started emm386, all was well. Incidentally, I tried this on two different machines with different display cards, one was an ATI Ultra Pro, the other the stock Dell local bus S3 chip. Both worked when I didn't use emm386. Other than that, after using Imagine on an Amiga 3000 for so long, the PC version is so similar, but the screen redraws on a my 486 are really fast, as are renderings. I can get used to this.
