I am not sure whether I wanted to post this under retro-challenged, but my PowerBook 540c Webserver is now HTML 1.1 Compliant (I think) which means, NO CSS, no XML, no scripting that would cause a classic browser to choke. Check it out:

http://coius.dyndns.org:8080/index.html

Give me a heads up if it doesn't work. Btw, it's best viewed @ 800x600@Thousands of Colors, but 640x480 works@256 is fine. the images just won't show with full colors :p

It's served off a PowerBook 540c with 20MB RAM, 33Mhz 68LC040 and an AAUI->Ethernet (10BaseT connection)

I need to know if you have a hard time rendering so I can tweak it. I originally started out with iWeb, but not only was it horrendously slow, but the files were large, it wasn't readable on older machines, and it doesn't really give the powerbook much room since it runs off of a RAMDISK. which means, 20MB RAM and OS 8.1 doesn't go far (don't bother me with throwing 7 on it, because I tried it and it was unstable for some reason...)

Enjoy :b&w:

 
bah! I hosed it up. it doesn't render right :S

I tried it under Netscape and it doesn't work right. Gonna try a few other things. thought i got it right. Ok now, no comments until I get it fixed

 
netscape seems to **** it up, IExplorer does pretty well. I might need to haul out old tools to work on it under classic OS

this was an Epic FAIL

Btw, if anyone wants to see the old version, I can upload it to my main webserver

 
as far as I can tell, I have tried 3 different browsers, and netscape seems to be the only one that doesn't render it right. IExploder does it fine. so does iCab, WamCom, and Opera. I might have to abandon the idea of a universal site that any web browser can render
