Which text web browser for 68000?

[Photon]

This starts at 68020. Has anyone recompiled it for 68000?

Is ALynx recommended?

Easy and stable installation is preferred. I'm a bit nervous to try this type of program because they are not like unarchivers or text editors. It's mostly to see if it works, not for any real use.

42 MHz 68000, 480kbps connection, 7MB RAM free, WB3.1.

for internet connection or a browser or any other internet program you need a 68020+ because nothing works or nothing works fine on a 68000

having a 42mhz 68000 is useless, get a 020/30 accel if u want ur Amiga in internet using good programs

I've never understood this. 68020 doesn't adds very little to the instruction set, and no instructions or features for this or that function, only general instructions and (expectations of) more speed.

My 68000 is faster than a 68EC020, so what's the conclusion?

Mine is that devs missed a checkbox and recompile.

Aweb seems to be available as a 68000-version (not a text browser but might still be worth a try).

I guess it depends.You do get some benefits if you need to do shifting, 32 bit multiplication or scaled index addressing. No sure how applicable they are to pure text mode though

your 68000 is a bit faster than the 020 at 14mhz but not faster than the 020/28mhz
the conclusion is that for internet you will need a 020 accel because 99% of the programs wants a 020+
anyways u can try aweb 00, or even amosaic 00 but they are so old and buggy that I don't know if will be usable for something

a fast 68000 for dapaint and old A500 programs and games > in those things you have to use it

this is for 020+ or powerpc

btw, most of the web sites today are encrypted with SSL so even to read text u need to install a current AMISSL package which is 020+ , also u need a compatible browser ie Ibrowse 3

This one maybe?

AmiGemini works on 68000, but of course not stuff that requires AmiSSL.
