Wait, seriously? What was the point of making that browser for "Classic" mac's if the 68k's aren't involved?
And installing Mac OS X on a G3/G4/G5/Intel Mac doesn't? :lol:Coupling MachTen with Apple's new G3 and G4 machines creates a high-performance UNIX Workstation
That's why we need a server that parses all the big-bad stuff and outputs the html to our macs. Don't they have something like that?I think one of the problems with 68K browsers now is that modern webpages are just too demanding of the computer.
Alas, a responsive *nix GUI on a 68K Mac is an unlikely proposition. Mac graphics cards are designed to display QuickDraw and have drivers (in ROM or INIT) that accelerate QD. 68K Macs have used literally dozens of graphics processors, most of which are proprietary. The NeXT family have graphics interfaces and drivers that optimise Display PostScript. PowerMacs sometimes get reasonable X11 graphics, but only if they the right graphics card.Why can't *nix distros have a resonsive GUI on 68k machines?
Is some kind of Quickdraw wrapper out of the question?Mac graphics cards are designed to display QuickDraw and have drivers (in ROM or INIT) that accelerate QD.
