I know that Micronik used to make an A500 tower kit, with a busboard which had Zorro slots, a kick switcher and an A2000 CPU slot.

You might be able to find one of those floating around and put a Zorro ethernet card in it.

Ebay? Amibench?

[edit]

Oooh, i forgot. Amitrix do AmigaLink (here) which is similar to ethernet, ut significantly slower. Works though.

And IIRC, in theory, a scsi network is possible, never seen such a thing implemented on the A500 though. I think the Siamese System used one.

[edit again]

DOH! It would appear that AmigaLink is no longer available.

However, aminet/hard/hack/AddZorro2slot.lha has details on how to add a Z2 slot to the A500 with a passthrough for your SCSI interface...
Cheers,
