Title: AC Line networking on Amiga?
Post by: giZmo350 on August 24, 2006, 06:28:45 PM

Anyone remember these? They connect to a PC's parallel port. Well, I forgot I had the whole setup lurking in my basement and dug it out. I was wondering what the chances are of getting this to work on my A500 were...  

Intelogis Passport (http://www.strategy-gaming.com/hardware/passport_plug-in/index.shtml)


I did some net searching and found that there is a linux driver out there to download.

Linux Driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pport1)

Any chances that the driver could be modified to work on an Amiga? Would I not need a TCP/IP stack? Any thoughts?

 Sounds similar to the AmiLink units.

 Or a Parnet for PC.

 Does the linux driver use IP addressing ?
 
 Do you want to link two machines or more?

 Is there a manufacturer's website or support files you can download and examine?Install disks?Spec sheets?Brand and model number is?
