Argus/Jiffy: IBrowse 2.3 is very slow with javascript but it gets you there (and informs you it's thinking about it!), I too am eagerly awaiting IBrowse2.4. Surfing without an RTG card is dead slow, I think the ChipRAM bottleneck slows downloads, particularly with serial transfers.

humppa: How do you get a GFX card in an A1200 without spending the equivalent of a 1260 on just a new case, busboard and adaptors etc.?


I previously wanted to get my 1200 online, but then I thought, the benefits one gets for the costs invloved are just ridiculous.  Putting and 060, RAM and gfx card into a 1200 costs rather a lot.  I only wanted to do it because I could (maybe if I'm rich one day).  I tried with UAE, and the browser situation is as much an issue as the hardware.  The only reason I would put my 1200 online now, would be to make it easier to grab some downloads directly into it, rather than transfering via a PC.  Now, I'm more interested in using Yellow TAB's Zeta for net access.  Hope it should be fun and fast.  I'm rather sick of XP and its shabby programming, poor security, and sluggish response.
Good good study, day day up!
