I just wanted to report my 68020 powered Amiga 1200 is surfing the web securely despite the new vulnerabilities.. My 68000 based Mega STE with NIC also seemed unaffected.
I haven't dialed any BBSes lately on my Atari 800XL, but I'm pretty confident that machine is safe too.
I felt these were pretty risky as they are "modern" machines with complex custom chips, but they seem to be doing OK. So far I haven't heard of any floppy virus variants of Meltdown/Spectre.
I hope everyone else has vintage machines available to survive the security apocalypse this year :)
This is funny. But I was wondering about older Sparc and MIPS chips. Like is my O2 safe? - Derrik -- -- Derrik Derrik Walker v2.0, RHCE dwalker@doomd.net "Those UNIX guys, they think weird!" -- John C. Dvorak
