I always missed ethernet on A500, and compensated by using 10base2 AmiLink floppyport net. Also the CD32 lacks ethernet (and clockport for USB etc)

Having some attached hardware do TCP/IP and just provide the amiga with bsdsocet, like UAE does,would be excellent.

Doesnt the C64 have a "clock port" ethernet solution?

Surely it would be easier to write drivers, rather than designing an interface AND writing drivers?


This has also been discussed numerous times, the RR-net device is not really suited on the Amiga, and it's not just about software drivers.

This solution would still cost more than the A500 you're hooking it up to. Stick with serial.


Build a serial card with bluetooth interface on, sell it with a bluetooth USB dongle for the PC side, wireless nullmodem FTW! Btw, I'm already doing this with my Minimig and it works just fine, the bluetooth interface is configured through terminal program or "dialup script".
