Is possible use my A600 to surf on the Internet? If not, what upgrade I need to do to put my A600 on the Internet?
I used Amiga 600 to surf the net, but it was upgraded. The specs were: Commodore Amiga 600, upgraded with CD1200 PCMCIA controller, M-Tec 630-42 Turboboard (68030/42MHz) 2MB Chip Memory and 8MB Fast, Kickstart 3.0. I used this machine to surf the net back in 1999 for about 4 months, when I upgraded to Amiga A1200. The problem with the little A600 was that it was overheating too much because it was still in the original case. Also I had lots of headache when opening it, then trying to re-seat properly the CPU card and the ROMs.
Using Internet on the Amiga is quite possible and I find it more fun than using other machines. For e-mail, newsgroups, FTP, IRC and even social networks it is pretty good. For listening to streaming radio it is not that okay. But downloading MP3, you can listen them if you lower the quality. For browsing www sites and watching video it is not okay. I was with modem back in 1990-ies, so I turned the graphics off and only read the text. With A600 browsing Aminet, checking e-mails and other causal tasks over the Internet are possible.
