I am not sure what the status of the Unity Net 100 card is -- I assume that it was abandoned?
I was just wondering -- would this card have been able to achieve 100MBps speed on a regular Zorro 2 slot (Amiga 2000 Z2 for example with a 68040 processor)? or does it require a Z3 slot for those speeds? From the card description on the Kato dev site, it seemed like the card itself was designed so that it bypassed the Zorro speed limitations?
Most Amigas can get 100MBit NIC's through PCI, but I still want to get one for my Amiga 2000.

100Mbps = 100/8 bytes per second, that is 12.5 MB/s.
Regular Zorro2 is only few megabytes per second.
The unity net 100 webpage say "up to 3.5 MB/s bandwidth to CPU (Wide Zorro2) via Katodev's Unity-Bridge".
Even with this 3.5 MB/s it would still be only 3.5*8 = ~28Mbps.
