TCP/IP under Workbench/Kickstart 1.3?
« on: August 11, 2004, 04:08:00 PM »
Does anyone know if a TCP/IP stack that will run under Workbench/Kickstart 1.3 exist?

@blobrana:

Yeah, the oldest AmiTCP I could find on Aminet was version 2.2. When I start installing it, the installer says that it needs atleast exec version 37 (2.04) and tells me I only have version 34 (1.3).

I wonder if AmiTCP 1.0 would run on WB1.3 and if it is possible to get hold of it. As the older AmiTCP versions are distributed under the GPL licence and evidently some versions were uploaded to for example Aminet it just feels like it should be obtainable somewhere. Who knows, maybe older versions than 2.2 existed on Aminet way back but the reason why they cant be found now is because they removed older versions when a newer version was uploaded.

@cha05e90, adolescent:

Are there any TCP/IP applications available that can use the AS225 TPC/IP stack and do you know if it is possible to get hold of AS225 somewhere?

@Argus:

Do you remember if it was AS225r1 or AS225r2 you saw on eBay?


@Cyberus:

Genesis requirements:
-Amiga with 68000 CPU
-AmigaOS 2.04+
-Minimum 4 MB RAM
-Harddisk

This is according to Haage & Partners product page for Genesis. Alas Genesis should run on your A600HD provided it has enough memory.

You could always try AmiTCP 3.0b2 which is a version originally released to beta-testers. According to this page it is very stable and is essentially the same TCP/IP-stack as the AmiTCP 4.0 Demo. One of the most interesting thing with this stack is that it is last AmiTCP version distributed under GPL licensing.

It will be harder to set up AmiTCP than Genesis or Miami, but with a machine like your A600HD which I assume have limited amounts of memory it should be worth some extra work.

Btw, Genesis is essentially AmiTCP but with a GUI ontop to configure and control it. Also worth mentioning is that both AmiTCP and Genesis are faster than Miami.


@adolescent:

Then it sounds like AS225R1 would be the best bet. It would be very interesting to know if AmiTCP 1.0 can run under 1.3. According to this page, AmiTCP was a free implementation from the start. I know that version 2.0 to 3.0b2 was distributed under GPL licensing so its not impossible that it was distributed under GPL licensing from the very start.

Anyhow - GPL licencing or not, AmiTCP 1.0 was free so it should have been uploaded to fileshares like BBSes, Aminet, etc once in a time. It seems reasonable to think that someone should have it on an old disk or harddrive or something.


@DonnyEMU:

Yeah, it would be very exciting with TCP/IP on a 1.3 machine! Just imagine your old 1.3 machine being able to use some TCP/IP applications to communicate on a network :=).

@adolescent:

Thanks for the information! You dont happen to have the complete AmiTCP 1.0? :)
