Plain Amiga A600/A1200 network how to

[Karlos]

It certainly works with OS 3.x. I have an A1200 connected to my router using a PCMCIA NIC. I'm using cnet.device, it works fine.

You might also need cardreset, depending on your PCMCIA behaviour.

Thanx. Which browser and tcp ip stack You recommend? OS 3.1.

For OS3.1, I'd basically recommend AmiTCP. It doesn't do DHCP, but if you are plugging it into a router where you can more or less guarantee what address it's going to get, that isn't a problem. Under 3.9, a tcp/ip stack is included, but I'm still using AmiTCP nonetheless.

I don't really do a lot of web browsing under 3.1, (I rarely boot into 3.1 except for testing), so I can't really recommend a browser. Both IBrowse and AWeb have been left a long way behind current web standards.

The only Amiga web browser I'm using these days is OWB on OS4. I do believe an older version of this exists for 680x0, but I haven't tried it.

I must have missed the "not expanded" bit.

I wouldn't recommend doing anything with an unexpanded A1200 except playing the odd game from floppy. Try and get an accelerator card if possible, or at least a 4MB trapdoor RAM expansion (which won't affect your PCMCIA slot). Really, it will make a lot of difference.
