A1200 towered in an Elbox case? Simples, get a Mediator. Just need a Graphics card such as a Radeon 9200 or 9250 off EBay around £40 and a cheap pci network card around £5.

The PCI network card really quick! Plus having P96 RTG modes for iBrowse is definitely the way to go…

I’m surprised really. If I have a Towered Amiga then a busboard with PCI to me is a no brainier. Unless money is the issue.
For browsing on a Amiga, you do need a good workbench resolution. Where the native AGA can slow down the system the higher you go and more Chip RAM get used.

Have you considered getting a PiStorm 32 Lite? I believe Networking is going to be an option like the Vampire cards… plus you get a built in RTG option using P96 (Even using the free version off Aminet).

All the best.
