I was recently able to make an Atari ST browse the Web!. Here’s how I did it.
Network setup
Starting with a NetUSBee Ethernet adapter, I installed TOS drivers and the STinG TCP/IP stack.
Graphics
An optional step, but really helps with the modern web. I used an ET4000 graphics card to push the resolution to a (somewhat) modern 1024x768 in 256 colours.
Browser
With a successful TCP/IP ping in place, I downloaded and configured Crystal Atari Browser (CAB).
The Web experience is slow and doesn’t support CSS - which rules out a lot of content. However I was able to make older sites work.
Future investigation
In search of a better experience: it might be possible to use a proxy server to strip CSS and shrink images. Or use a text-based browser like Lynx. Browsh also looks interesting. Lots of avenues for future investigation!
