| Anyone running a old time hobby server? (Netscape 3.0?) |
Posted by: mraroid on 2015-07-01 14:28:57
Hi....
I believe I have my Mac set up correctly so that the Internet connection works. For the time being, I am running Netscape 3.0.
No matter where I go, my screen fills with java and other errors and I can not see the web page. So this makes me think I have Ethernet conductivity and I am on the Internet, but I am not 100% sure.
Is anyone here running a web page that old time web browsers can connect to? Or maybe you know of some folks who are running a hobby server that is not so modern that older versions of Netscape and other browsers can pull up?
I would like to see at least one web page load in my browser. Even if the content is just a photo or a block of text.
anyone?

My personal site isn't specifically designed for it, but last I checked it was readable in Netscape 3.x, albeit not very pretty: http://www.commodorejohn.com

http://fink.680x0.com exists.
Best viewed on Internet Explorer and thousands of colours.

Thanks! Just as soon as my CC is assembled, I am going to give the links a try.

The Gryphel Project web site, about preserving early Macintosh software, is intended to be viewable on a Macintosh Plus using the earliest web browsers. Feedback is welcome if there are problems.

Also if you can access this from another newer machine to glean individual url's... http://www.404pagefound.com/
And this one...

I also had intentions to eventually build and host a very simplistic page that is sleek, small and browsable with full functionality in Mosaic 1.0 or Macwebs on a 9" monochrome machine as a resource tailored to old hardware and ancient software... Similar to the abovementioned Gryphel site. 🙂 I drafted a layout but havent gotten any further due to other commitments unfortunately, but it will be thing eventually, and I will be hosting a copy of the old info.apple download site (all 12Gb or so of it) on there, as well as some other handy ancient abandonware perhaps even on a seperate ftp server such that in theory you can get on your SE/30 and download whatever you need directly. But yes, that is a way off yet due to the meatlife being in my way.

Also, you absolutely MUST open and bookmark this one on your old machine...

I took my Color Classic's web-virginity after 22 years with this particular page displayed in MacWebs. It is worth it... trust me. 🙂
