AMosaic or Other 68000Web Browser wanted

[Cammy]

If you can get a copy of Aminet CD 24 it comes with a full version of IBrowse 1.2, the last IBrowse which worked on 68k. It would be better to use than AMosaic. I have a LHA of it if you want it.

Am I missing something here? Why can't this guy use the latest demo version of Ibrowse 2.x on his A2000?

IBrowse 2.x needs a 68020 or higher, and Robert's A2000 only has a 68000. IBrowse 1.22 was the last version of IBrowse that will run on his setup. AMosaic and Aweb will also work. None of them are particularly stable, and Aweb probably renders pages best of the three choices.

Actually IBrowse 1.22 is very stable and not so much different from IBrowse 2.x series. It lacks Javascript and tabbing and crashes in low mem situations but generally it never crash. Too bad there are no websites IBrowse could display properly at this age...

You are probably right about IBrowse 1.22, I actually made a mistake thinking I was using 1.22 all this time, but it's only 1.2. So it's actually IBrowse 1.2 that comes for free on Aminet CD 24, not 1.22. Unfortunately I can't find 1.22 or an update online anywhere, although it definitely was the last 1.x version.

The problem people are most-likely having with AWeb crashing are the Datatypes they're using. Do some tests to see which type of images are causing the crashes (JPEG/GIF/PNG) and try some replacement Datatypes for those.

I set up IBrowse 1.22 on my A600 a few years ago, and yes, it was VERY hard to find the patches. I believe I finally got them from an Amiga Format or CU Amiga cover CD, either directly or through an offline mirror of HiSoft/Omnipresence's website. I'm pretty sure I saved the files, but unfortunately that A600 is not nearby at the moment.

ISOs of the cover CDs can be found fairly easily online...

Thanks! I have nearly all of the Amiga magazine cover CDs from Amiga Format, CU Amiga and Amiga Active (And CD32 Gamer) so I'll start searching through them for the update.
