Roadshow for 68K -Needs your support!

[Joeled]

I want it and will pay for it!

Right... what's an ADSL modem again? It's like complaining about how much it sucks at ISDN, really.

As a fellow norwegian you dont have to travel so far from the major cities before you might need to rediscover ADSL and maybe even ISDN...

Until recently the only option where I live was ISDN, and then a wimax solution came up. But pretty expensive for the 1.5MBit you get, so I would be happy to get the chance to get ADSL if it ever comes available.

Regarding the topic:
I thought there was quite a few TCP/IP solutions available in its time for the classic. Its a bit surprising to me if none are available today.

- AmiTCP/IP (some versions available, but no GUI and complicated)
- Genesis (standalone or part of the NetConnect bundle)
- Miami/MiamiDx
- TermiteTCP
- EasyNet

Easynet is still available in the webshop on amigakit, and at a resonable price at £8.95 for a CD version. Can also be baught bundled with a wireless interface card for A1200/A600.
Reading the product description for the bundle I notice that the CD also contains AmiTC3, so that makes me unsure whether Easynet is a full TCP solution, or if its just a clever GUI that works together with AmiTCP3. But for the end user I guess it doesnt matter, as long as the package is a complete solution that configures easily.

The majoprity of the UK uses ASDL. Whilst the bigger towns and cities have access to 100mbit cable through virign or firber a lot of rural uk does not, and ASDL is still the cheapest form of broadband if up to 20mb speeds are your bag.
 
I live 3 and hlaf miles from telephone exchange i get 2mb tops. Moving soon and its straight onto 100mb then
 
Though i have not seen ISDN is a very liong time in the uk, and dial-up nobody uses anymore

There are loads of stacks, roadshow for 68k is pointless and a waste of everones time

I disagree. I think that it's nice to have an alternative to buggy old stacks and would buy it for my classics.

On top of that he might be able to use it on his MorphOS machine. It is always good to have alternatives, even if some MorphOS/AROS users/developers don't think so, and throw garbage against the additional software ported to the Amiga.

[Jeff]

I'll certainly support this!  Go ahead and release it as is and update it in the future.

[jj]

I am not against things, and its got f all to do with being a MorphOS user.   Given the limited number of devs and resources in AmigaLand these days, I just don't see the point in porting software that we don't really need, when there are things we do need still not done.

Aros/morphos users/developers should be angry with Hyperion for forbiding Olsen to release native versions for MorphOS/AROS.

It may be useful for old MorphOS 1.4.5 due to lack of tcp/ip stack but I don't think it's really needed at all on MorphOS 2.x since NetStack works great. Perhaps MosNet/aros tcp/ip stack is more interesting for MorphOS1.4.5 because it's native ppc.

For classic amigas it's still quite interesting.

Everyone does what they want with their free time whatever you say or would like them to do !

I dont give a flying **** to be honest.  Its a dead platform, its getting deader by the year.

Not to those of us buying new 68K hardware such as the Minimig, FPGA Arcade and Natami

I still have my Miami registration key so I can use Miami on my Minimig anyway to link to a gateway PC acting as a serial to lan gateway if I need lan access to my mini Amiga clone.

Then why make your comment in the first place?  Seems like waste of energy to besmirch a dead platform.

1) Great way of saying someones efforts are bull :madashell:
2) Perhaps you should start doing the work that needs to be done instead of complaining that no one else is doing it :madashell:

Where can you get them or licenses to avoid time limits?

Roadshow is not yet a dead product. (ie, there's still someone around to work on it to fix bugs, add features, whatever) Holger is gone. Oregon Research is gone. Are the Genesis/AmiTCP guys still around?

Sorry, but I cannot agree with your opinion. Besides, how can it possibly waste anyone's time other than Olsen himself? And if he chooses to waste his time on it, why do you care?

[itix]

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