What sort of web browsing?

An 030 is fine for basic forum stuff, visiting aminet, internet chat and whatnot.

Obviously, complex web sites will pretty much kill your machine :)

I thought Netsurf requires 64MB and RTG in any case? And it recommends an 060? I'd try iBrowse or Voyager, instead.

I have an A1200 with a 50MHz 030 (before that, a 40MHz 030.) iBrowse is balky, especially with Javascript, but it's fairly solidly in the "usable" category. Voyager is better, but less featureful. I haven't tried ALynx as I couldn't get it to work, but I imagine that would be a lot more usable.


yeah, netsurf is likely a nogo on an 030. Stick with Ibrowse or some of the others out there.

yeah, but browsing the web on your phone isn't as cool :)

Besides, unless your amiga has USB, it's no use for getting aminet stuff to the miggy.
