Best Web Browser

[Miked]

Hey everyone,

I've begun the process of resurrecting my Amiga 500, and was wondering if there were any decent web browsers for the Amiga?  I've heard of one, but I think it can only render in 16 colors.  You I stick to browsing on my windows based system.  Additionally, can a 25/50mhz Amiga handle a DSL connection?

personaly i hate to browse on amiga with the browsers that are available... if you have a network card of course you can use dsl connections with at least 68030/25 and up. need enough ram too.

Well with an A500 you're stuck with browsing in max 32 (or 16?) colours due to chipset limitations. TBH the best option for browsing on ECS/OCS would be with Lynx...

You can't browse with 32 colours on an A500 - there's no browser that works in low res (..and who would want it to?). 16 colours is the max.

Lynx? No, the best is definitely IBrowse. It has the best jpeg dithering - and you certainly need that when you've only got 16 colours.

Anyone got a working link for the 68000 version of IBrowse please?

YES! Works here! You need at Ibrowse 1.22.... this is the last known version that works with 68000. Kickstart must be 3.x.....

for Downloading something from aminet it is absolutely enough... Networkconection on my A500 is realized with a PLIPBOX http://lallafa.de/blog/amiga-projects/plipbox/ and Roadshow as the TCP/IP Stack.....

68000 builds of AWeb are available. IIRC it doesn't need as much memory as IBrowse.

While its semi offtopic, I figure Ill mention the Vampire here;

A600 browsing at quite impressive speeds. The Vampire is currently only available for A600, but the A500 version isnt far off. Just if you werent aware of the acceleratior.

Kudos to anyone who can provide a link to AWeb for the Amiga 500+.

There you go AWeb-3.5.09-68000

Enjoy

Thanks, I had tried that but it contains no installable files. Seems to be some special type of compile.

What do you mean no installable files? You just unpack the archive and run AWEB icon. That's it

What happens when you do it? Do you get any errors?
Do you have ClassAct in your system?
