I haven't run FireFox on my OS/2 equipped 486 because mine doesn't have Ethernet. It would be nice to get a MicroChannel Ethernet card for it, though.
And yeah, I had forgotten that the Models 25 and 30 were both AT/ISA architecture, not MicroChannel. So not nearly as bad to deal with.
And for any moderately recent web browser, RAM is king. iCab runs just fine on my 33 MHz 68LC040 with 40 MB RAM (Duo 280c), but runs like crap on my 100 MHz 603e with 8 MB RAM (PowerBook 5300). (Last night, I tried to load Google News, and the hard drive was thrashing, with no screen updates at all, not even the clock, for over 10 minutes before I force-quit iCab.) Both machines running 7.6.1 with Speed Doubler, RAM Doubler, and RAM Charger. The Duo uses an EN/SC through a minidock, the 5300 uses a WaveLAN card. I'd love to get an Ethernet microdock; and I've read somewhere that someone hacked some third-party microdock to have a PCMCIA slot! That would be the ultimate Duo.
