Sputnik beta 4
« on: April 25, 2008, 01:23:09 AM »
...is now available. The news seems to have slipped under the radar here, somehow.

Functional, modern, native browser, hooray!

Anyone tried this on MOS PowerUP for classics?

Would be interesting to know how it performs.

It's fast. Not IBrowse-fast, but it feels much faster than OWB. Definitely 100% usable.

@Matt_H

Yeah, it's fast, not as fast as IBrowse though. I'm running it on my 240 MHz BPPC... however I have problems with this browser and IBrowse under morphOS, they both freeze the machine suddenly. I don't know if it has something to do with miamidlx, I'm using the MNI driver for my xsurf, I've tried the SANAII device (patch for morphos), same result... :-(

Any ideas?

cheers

I was having random lockups on my MOS PowerUp installation that I *thought* I had tracked down to SANA-II activity (symptoms would appear with Miami and Envoy).

Turns out it was something to do with SFS. The current 68K version is incompatible with MorphOS and if it's installed in your RDB its higher version number will cause it to be used instead of the working version in the MorphOS "ROM" image.

I ended up dropping back to SFS 1.84 in my RDB. It might also be possible to continue to use the 68K 1.279 but with a false version identifier to make it appear to be older than the 1.210 that MorphOS uses.

Piru can probably explain the technical reasoning better.
