Hey all!I'm looking to get the networking working on my PiStorm A500. I've set up a new SD card using the PiStorm software and instructions and need to make the machine useful now.iBrowse looks like a great piece of software, but at $60 CAD, it's too much for me to afford. I've seen AWeb, but it's pretty old and tends to break the newer OS. Finally, I found NetSurf, but it appears to only be for OS4, which I don't have (Also, their documentation links are broken). Are there any other alternatives?I don't mind paying a bit for software, but I have a dozen different retro machines. At $60 a pop, the value of the software would be more than the value of the hardware!
Here is the correct place: https://bugs.netsurf-browser.orgAny crash logs and the output from "netsurf -v" will be helpful.What do you mean by "stock caffeine OS"?
Ah, in that case I can say "not supported", you're on your own.AmigaOS 3.9 should work. AmigaOS 3.2.2.1 should work. But either of those with a ton of extra patches and hacks I wouldn't expect to work correctly. Even the plain versions of 3.9 and 3.2 are temperamental. I want to rebuild it with the 3.2 NDK and (if necessary) ditch 3.9, to see if that makes it more stable - the classes can then work more or less exactly as they do in OS4 so it should help. But the NDK won't work properly in my build environment currently.
How are you finding performance? I'm looking at going for same setup once I've sourced the piStorm and a pi4.
CM4 here, running at 2.5GHz / GFX at 950Mz.For me personally, don't see point in browsing internet on my Amiga. Sure its handy for downloading files directly to Amiga, but thats about it.
