Roadshow for 68K -Needs your support!

Wait, it was different old story, which went like this: bottom drops out of the Amiga market, harder than usual this time, companies you did consulting work for during the last 10 years go bust, an old friend and collaborator dies of a cardiac arrest, and you find out how hard it can be to overcome a burnout.

Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, well, he eats you.

I hope you didn't mean HF passed away. Haven't heard of him for a very long time now. Anyway, five or six years ago I would have written your MUI frontend easily... but you know yourself, as time passes, so does the past... still a shame to see the Roadshow "If you liked the demo buy the real thing" requester popping up, when I forget to start up Miami...

I really hope you'll find enough supporters to get your fine product out on the streets. It deserves to be used.

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)

Whatever it is, it is AOS4 introduced horror (which can be worked around by creating a dummy zero byte file of same name as the memory-created device in DEVS:Networks). As the Roadshow config is text based, it is easy to configure it for USB based devices. I successfully have tried the Roadshow demo since 2003 (for use with Norway, later for the USB adapters).

Roadshow is the most performant TCP/IP stack I've seen. With the Deneb and ASIX USB adapter I reached transfer rates of over 1200 KB/sec, if I remember it correctly (measured with TCPSpeed).

Congrats to Olsen for finally releasing it.
