Roadshow for 68K -Needs your support!

[Crumb]

I'm interested and I would contribute. I would prefer it in this order:
1 opensourced
2 freeware after bounty is reached
3 released as demo product that works for some minutes allowing you to buy a key.
4 commercial product with no demo

I don't think GUI is a problem since it could be released later: Gadtools, MUI, Classact... I could help with any of these toolkits if Olaf is interested.

As far as I'm concerned the result is ready to ship right now. I likely won't be selling Roadshow 68k by myself, and there's a standing offer from one publisher to take care of it for me, on short notice. There's another offer from a different publisher to integrate Roadshow 68k with a GUI and sell this integrated product, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

If GUI is a problem I could prepare a MUI/Reaction/Gadtool GUI in case you need it.

There are loads of stacks, roadshow for 68k is pointless and a waste of everones time

I disagree. I think that it's nice to have an alternative to buggy old stacks and would buy it for my classics.

[Crumb]

On top of that he might be able to use it on his MorphOS machine. It is always good to have alternatives, even if some MorphOS/AROS users/developers don't think so, and throw garbage against the additional software ported to the Amiga.

Aros/morphos users/developers should be angry with Hyperion for forbiding Olsen to release native versions for MorphOS/AROS.

It may be useful for old MorphOS 1.4.5 due to lack of tcp/ip stack but I don't think it's really needed at all on MorphOS 2.x since NetStack works great. Perhaps MosNet/aros tcp/ip stack is more interesting for MorphOS1.4.5 because it's native ppc.

For classic amigas it's still quite interesting.

And btw. could you add preconfigured interface file for 3com driver too? And Hydra & X-surf too...

It should include preconfigured interface files for cnet.device/g-rex/prometheus/xsurf/... otherwise users will complain.

Does it work with poseidon usb-ethernet adapters? IIRC there was some problem on OS4 using Roadshow+Poseidon because it was mandatory to use a file based device (and in contrast Poseidon created the network device in memory so choosing it was not possible)

[Crumb]

Which name does the Poseidon SANA-II driver have?

Since Roadshow on 68k does not have a GUI to select the driver with, adding the driver's name to the configuration file by means of a text editor should help to avoid that SNAFU

If you can tell me the name of the driver, I'll add another ready-made configuration file for it right now.

It seems that typing even though it doesn't exist physically should do the trick, so it should be:
"Devs:Network/dm9601eth.device" for Davicom (or should it be usbdm9601eth.device?)
"Devs:Network/usbasixeth.device" for Asix
"Devs:Network/usbpegasus.device" for Pegasus
"Devs:Network/usbmoschipeth.device" for MosChip MCS7830

I have a pair of asix adapters but I won't have access to my Deneb until weekend.

I can't remember if there are more drivers.

I could help with a Reaction/ClassAct GUI and give all the rights to Olaf Barthel although I don't think I have a lot of time to do it until christmas.
