Well, I finally did get AWeb-II v3.2 working on my A500. It's very
slow, but it does work. Image decoding is the main thing that slows
it down. You can't really expect a 68000 to do a job like that
quickly. Then again, maybe AWeb's image plugins aren't all that
optomized. I dunno.
I would love to get a 68000 version of Voyager on there to compare
its speed against AWeb.
How 'bout it, Olli ???

Blizzard from phase5 is a good card. Too bad I don't have one. The
GVP that I have "blocks" my Zorro 2 backplane so I can't use it. I'm
working on remedying that, however, by buying a different card.
