The C64/128 has the rr-net, which uses Amiga style clock port on products like the MMC Replay. I've asked Jens about the possibility of Amiga drivers and he suggested it would be a bad idea.

Shame classic Amiga don't have a low cost ethernet solution like the C64/128, the 64nic+ is stand alone and only $55.


It's not bad, but it's not great either. Ethernet and IP are fault tolerant by design, so being a polled device isn't necessarily a drawback. Both of my A1200s are borked (as my sig suggests), and my A500 isn't capable of running a full-featured IP stack (one that uses SANA-II devices and emulates bsdsocket.library) for testing. That, and I spend most of my free time with my wife and not my computers. ;-)
