I've got IBrowse 1.22 (or is it 1.12?) almost running on my 2MB, Kickstart 3.1 A600 alongside AmiTCP. There are a few more memory-saving tricks that I haven't tried yet, though. The latest AWeb has been compiled for 68000 as well.

The patches to get IBrowse 1.0 up to 1.x were very difficult to find. As I recall, they were on an Amiga Format cover CD. I'll look again.

I'm not sure the picture datatypes are important - IBrowse has internal image decoders - but I had to turn off image loading altogether to save RAM.

The patch to bring IBrowse 1.1x-1.2x to 1.22 (along with some SSL goodies and ARexx documentation) is on AFCD36 in :-Websites-/HiSOFT/amiga/downloads/

The patches to bring IBrowse 1.0x to 1.12a are on AFCD23 in :+Look_here_1st!+/AF_on_the_web/Websites/Omnipresence/support/

AMosaic is disatrously obsolete and probably not worthwhile even for a 68000 machine - historical interest only.

For AWeb, you need the 3.5.09 main archive. Extract it, then copy the contents of the 68000 archive on top of it.

ALynx is a good candidate for 68000 machines, but would benefit from a cleaner port and a more up-to-date codebase.
