Netscape for 7.1 Mac SE and BlueSCSI v2

[billbucks]

Hello,
I managed to connect my Mac SE to the Internet thanks to the latest BlueSCSI v2 DB25).
I'm using Mosaic browser as I didn't manage to install Netscape using the provided drive or using any version from MacGarden.

If anyone has succeeded in installing and using any Netscape version with Mac SE v7.1, would it be possible to email me the link to download?

Thanks

What issue did you have installing Netscape? Which files did you use? You'd probably want Netscape 2.0 or 3.0 - anything newer would be too heavy.

Hi
When I run Netspace 3.03, I'm getting a system error with code 2.
It's running ok with NCSA Mosaic 1.0.3

I will try with Netscape 2

Netscape 3.03 was released in 1996 -- I'm not surprised it wont start on an SE.

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macweb MacWeb is a good browser for Plus/SE.

@billbucks If I can give you an advice - go with Gopher on your SE. Not only does it offer its own eco-system of blogs and download pages but there's even a www gateway that allows accessing www content through gopher. Last time I checked it was still at an early stage, but it sounded very promising for underpowered computers like the SE. Yes, it's all text-based. But then that's what the SE can handle fine.

Thank you for your replies, I'm going to look into it.
