68000 Web Browser
I'm after a decent browser for 68000, I'm not sure what IBrowse requires and their downloads don't work so I can't try it. AWeb APL need 020+, the original Aweb does run on 68000 but it is no longer available for download, if someone has this plus a keyfile I would appreciate it.
Thanks Last edited by Hewitson; 11 January 2008 at 09:18. |

Are you sure it makes fun to browse with an 68000 ?

68000 browsing, Jesus, I find 68030 AGA browsing depressing enough!

Yeah lynx does work, but I'm after something graphical. Thanks for the link anyway.

If low memory:
TermiteTCP should be the stack that requires less memory for connection to the web. Unfortunately is not the easier to configure. FBlit allows to download pics in FAST RAM and therefore allows to save precious CHIP RAM. |

You are a masochist arnt you? :-)
Web browsing on the Amiga even with a top turbo card is horrible after having used a modern PC. More and more of the net is now unusable on Amiga browsers as they dont have CSS. I bet you try it once, maybe for a week and then never try it ever again |

I've long since given up browsing on my A1200, bugger all loads properly, in fact only one of my own sites loads in IBrowse and thats because it's a really basic google-like search engine.

I surfed with my A1200 and IBrowse occasionally for about two years, then I had to stop 'cause connection problems with Miami. However Termite TCP sometimes worked yet.
My A1200 has a Blizzard IV 68030 @50 + 16 MB Fast RAM and a monitor Amiga M1438S (DBLPAL 720x512, to avoid classic 640x256). On surfing you should avoid sites with long pages, sites with many and large images, sites your browser can't support 'cause it's not available the right plugin. On jumping to pages pre-surfed (HD saved) can take more time than to reload them again. However to surf on sites like Aminet or (with occasionally jumps to HOL) our EAB forum is not, in my opinion, a bad experience. Pure file downloads from Aminet or "The Zone" were a bit better than on my PC, and I believe you can do that (occasionally) with slower (68000?) configurations. |

You're joking right? Either that, or you have a very small subset of webpages you visit.
Most webpages are not displayed correctly because they use CSS, Java or Flash, Javascript is very slow. It's just not fun. Want to surf on your Amiga, press that button on your KVM and switch to your PC/MAC. If you have a fast network and a gfx card, use VNC to open a remote web browser window. |

Seems 3.2 and 3.4 need 68020, they crash with #80000003
Edit: Got it sorted, the ClassAct I had installed needed 68020+. AWeb 3.2 works fine, 3.4 does need a 68020. Apart from the low resolution and shit javascript support, this actually isnt too bad even on a '010! Last edited by Hewitson; 13 January 2008 at 08:47. |
