If Gulliver is desperate for a network card to join his Amiga to network, I am not interested. After all I may be able to fix my own card.

Thank you for your gesture very much.
And yes, I was desperate


@Thread
I already closed the deal with Vlabguy1.

I am getting an ethernet card with some cool addons

.. So is this a good Amiga networking card, or should I say popular??

Well, if you take into account what network cards are available for Zorro only Amigas, you have very few choices:

Ariadne I and II: Good, reliable, well supported by programs, but no longer manufactured since ages. And it is certainly expensive in the 2nd hand market.

Deneb thru usb ethernet dongle: Excellent hardware. The fastest card I ´ve seen. But no longer available and when it is found, it can easily reach more than 200 EURO!

Then you have the other, dfifficult to find ethernet cards. That have slow performance and have various design flaws or outdated network topography schemes.

And finally you have the X-Surf series of cards which offer a nice tradeoff between speed, support and price, and have a few additionals that come very handy (like A1200 clockport, IDE, etc). Are still supported, and can be repaired by their manufacturer, which has proven to be reliable.

I would say that is what makes it simply, a popular choice.

Just to close the thread.

The card arrived in superb packing.

Thank you Vlabguy1!
