Hey all,
I was a hard core Amigan over 10 years ago but lost interest after the big C went under (At the time I was working in a Commodore reseller store so it was extra hard).
My question is: How do I get on the internet with my Amiga and what do I need to do it? I have an a1200 with 10 megs and 1 gig hd. I have 3.0 roms and 3.0 workbench. I also bought some kind of pcmcia ethernet card to network my a1200 to my Athlon3500 for transfering ADFs (but never got around to installing it). I'm sick of the PCs vunerability to spyware and viruses and really just want to use the PC for a video/audio workstation and keep it off the internet (so it stays "clean"). I only use the internet to check this site, some news sites, ebay, and my hotmail email account.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
It nice to be back.
Thanks,
Michael
Best of luck. The browsers currently available for the Amiga are...well, I'll be kind and say that they're "primitive". IMO, if your 1200 has the oomph to run shapeshifter, do the classic Mac emulation thing and run Netscape (or even IE for Mac). Alternately network your 1200 to your PC and use the Amiga VNC client to use the PC's browser.
