Title: Browsers for classics!!
Post by: Sirius on 26 January 2004, 10:50
Besides iCab and IE, are there any other browsers that run on classic macs (9.1/9.2)??  :confused:  

Netscape doesn't, mozilla doesn't and opera is buggy..

I'd reccomend you try www.versiontracker.com (http://www.versiontracker.com) and look for one there

yeah, but if he's running 9.2, then there's a 95% chance he's got a G3 or better. Moz runs just fine

PowerMac 5500/250 with Mac OS 9.1 and 128 MB of RAM. Running the latest (7.something) of Netscape is kind of slow.

Dug this thread up...I'm on my aunt's beige G3 300Mhz, 320MB RAM, OS 8.6.  All it has is IE 5.1/Mac...ugh.  I wonder if that Mozilla 1.2 will work...

Ok, Moz 1.2.1 doesn't work well on OS 8.6.  I'll try to dig up another version.

search google for WaMCom, the "Web and Mail Communicator"

it's a project to create a streamlined, optimized Mozilla distro. They have a Moz 1.3 install for OS 9
