A1200 - Alternative to PCMCIA for internet

[sheepz]

Hi All

Final got my loft emptied and my final A1200 working. Its in a Elbox Power tower. It has a 030 with SCSI CD rom rom, IDE Hard drive and Zip 250.

With it being in a case the PCMICA slot is unusable without an 90deg adapter. I still have a Twister Mk2 fast serial clock port card I used to use with my old 56k Modem.

The question is, is there a Serial to LAN option anyone has ever used, or even wireless in an real Amiga?

Thanks

Barry

I was think I could use something like this?

Hi

Well it looks like I will just go for a PCMCIA adaptor. Shame, as I would like to use my Serial adaptor but I cant find the WODEM in stock in the EU.

Thanks

Is your parallel port free? If so have you looked at a Plipbox?

It will be faster than a serial option but slower than pcmcia.

Hi

I did, I was just kind of wanting to use my Clock port/serial card just because I have it. I looked at the Plipbox, but I though that was really slow as well?

HI All

Thanks for the reply, sadly looks like there is nothing other than the WODEM to us on my fast serial port and looks like no-one have had much luck with it.

As for all the options, I am only interested in using my serial port and looks like it cant be done.

Thanks.

Hi All

All I want really is an easy why for my Amiga 1230 to download stuff from Aminet, PCI and Mediator is a no go as I already have a high end A4000 and wanted to use my Twister Mk2 fast serial again for a bit of nostalgia as it was my main machine back in the day with a 56k Modem.

Thanks for replies, in the mean time I have a A314-cp and pi Zero coming to try it for the internet hopefully that will be a nice cheap option.

Had a few Pistorms in my other 1200 and A2000 but didn't really get the fuzzy feeling I was hoping for so when back to 68060s.

Hi All

After a lot of trying I could not get the A314cp to connect to the internet so I have given up and sold my towered on eBay.

I am not very good with Discord etc so couldn't find much info, need to slim down my collection anyway!
