I'm browsing the EAB using A-Web II, because IBrowse denies to boot up on my system, dunno why :P

Anyway, this is the internet!! on my "obsolete" computer! looks liek arse because I'm running in Euro72 Laced and 64 colors, but what the HEY :D :D :D :D

I love my Amiga ! And it smells of Dolce Vita now... yumm yumm...


RCK, works quite fine with this browser!

You mean on your "toy" computer, your piece of crap computer as my friend likes to say, never having placed her hands upon one? Damn! I wish I still had mine... Go for it, baby!

Now I need to get my MSX2 onto the net too :D

Amazing is teh speed it is running at. I think that if I had a gfx card running in there, it would browse as fast as my PC.

As is, runs as fast as my P133 browsing the net. Then you wonder what are those extra 83 Mhz for! :D

The extra 83 MHZ is for the graphics need to display the blue screen of death :laughing
Can you take a screenshot, Akira? I wonder how it looks?

I too browse with iBrowse 2.2. :cool

My Amiga normally displays courtesy of a Voodoo3. I would be interested in seeing EAB rendered by AGA, as I have never seen it. Must get round to doing that. Race you, Akira. :D

I'll try to get a screenie, but it looks damn ugly at 64 colors, I tell you! That and the fact that it's not loading GIF piccies (where's the bloody plugin? :P) and I cant seem to pick a smaller font for some of the stuff there....

But it's very navigable, and the javascript, cookies, forms and all are working!

Like a GOOD browser, it bothered me everytime I did anything on the EAB, because the EAB writes much cookies... "Will you accept the cookie?" Yes thanks for asking, Amiga. RCK bakes nice cookies :D/

Bzzzz! Too slow, Akira! :p

Here is EAB AGA style. Pal Hi-Res Laced, 256 colours. :)

It looks better than on my AWEB because my frigging thing doesnt have a GIF plugin or something, so all I see are JPGs

I have to fix that, or get a working version of IBrowse!

Try setting up SnoopDos :) Maybe you are just missing a library or something :D

No plugin required. :) Sounds like your Amiga needs a GIF Datatype, though.

From AWeb docs: The commonly used ZGif datatype version 39.16 had a bug. Be sure to use version 39.18 or better of the ZGif datatype, or another GIF datatype.

If it's any consolation, I can't get Voyager working properly... :rolleyes

Thanks!

wanna visit my c64?

http://oxfordinspire.dyndns.org:64/

be patient.. its realtime transferred from 1541 disk. and you know how slow they are.. and its only 9600 slip to the net..

ill leave it on for a few hours so you can all visit (it only allows 1 at a time though heh)

:))

64k / ~1mhz should be enough for everyone :)

i can increase the speed, but it wouldnt make much difference unless i served data direct from memory..

aah runs the tcp stack the tfe people made. its actually seems more advanced than lng in some respects, but lng is much more compact (being pure asm). and is like a complete unix alike environment. i can sit on my c64, write emails, collect emails.. telnet.. ftp etc :d

Buzz, you are too hardcore :D

There was a server running on a C128 too, I forgot the URL.

in the MSX fair I went last saturday, the creator of Uzix (Adriano Camargo) was saying that he saw a C64 with a network card, that was connected to a tape player that was connected to the tape connector of the C64 .. (Damn.. I got all mixed up now.. it was something like that.. :) )

Anyway, he said the guy was sending music from the tape through the net to anyone to hear!

He said he wants to do something like that with the MSX too..

In retroman's post you can see that Shatterhand.

C64 owns MSX :D
