Does Subway support ethernet adaptors?
« on: February 01, 2003, 08:34:30 PM »
Hi folks!

I have an A1200 and I would like to attach a Subway USB controller to it via clock port.

My question is, does Subway (and its associated USB Stack [Poseidon?]) support USB<->Ethernet adaptors? If affirmative, which of these ethernet adaptors are supported?

Thanks in avance!!! :-)

They are working on that (was posted on vgr a few weeks ago).

Release-date: unknown.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

well... If Norway were available for Subway I wouldn't have posted this here... I would go for the Subway+Norway solution... however since this seems not to exist, neither I have any Zorro slots in my A1200... I am just looking for another ethernet solutions apart from PCMCIA ethernet adaptors or AteoNET (which seems not to work for me :-( ) ...

Thank you very much for your response... I hope that  they release a version which supports ethernet adaptors... AFAIK Poseidon stack supports them :-)

See you

The HW-support is NOT a problem, but writing a SANA_2-driver
that acceses the adapter through Poseidon is.

And that is what is currently in development/betatesting.

And yes I think a Norway is a better option than an adapter if you
got a HighWay (allready have a Zorro2-Network-card so no use for me)
