Roadshow for 68K -Needs your support!

[itix]

I really don't see the point, yet another utterly limited and primitive IP stack for Amiga, and also this time one is supposed to pay for it - why bother?

Currently it is impossible get any TCP/IP stack for real Amigas unless you pirate Miami. Better than not having TCP/IP stack at all although I dont think there are many users left... WinUAE users wont need it.

Another option would be porting MosNet/AROS TCP but I dont see it happening either...

Really? What, AmiTCP 2.3 suddenly no longer works? Or AmiTCP3.0beta2 or whatever it ended up on.

Oh, forgot about AmiTCP 3. But aint it quite old (IIRC MOSNet is based on it but was improved?) and difficult to install? I remember I tried AmiTCP when I was newbie and couldnt get anywhere... luckily Miami was released only few weeks earlier.

It was the old story: boy meets girl, boy loses girl...

Wait, it was different old story, which went like this: bottom drops out of the Amiga market,

Speaking of Amiga market wouldnt it be better create bounty to release RoadShow/68k binaries for free? No need to worry about piracy, shipping costs, CD duplication or wondering if there will be enough buyers.

Once it's free, who is going to take care of it? For free?

Does RoadShow need daily caring? I mean, I is mature project which is presumably out of beta stages since many years. If you were going to develop completely new features it could be another bounty project again.

This won't be as much fun as having some sort of carrot providing an incentive to keep pulling the cart.

I dont expect Amiga software is going to sell more than 50-100 copies in total these days... most of sales happen when product is released and then stagnate to very low numbers. In few months you have saturated entire Amiga market and it is not growing.

It is your choice of course but in my opinion with limited market bounty generates more pleasure to both users and developer.

Most Amiga users probably use WinUAE where they dont need TCP/IP stack anymore.
