Title: null-modem cable for AmigaExplorer
Post by: on November 17, 2002, 11:25:06 PM

  I want to hook up an Amiga 2000 to a Gateway, BUT the gateway only has USB ports.  

what options do I have for a null-modem cable to hook up to a computer that only has USB cable ports?  adapters?

Mike

If I were you I'd get myself a nice ethernet card like the Ariadne2 (secondhand) or the X-Surf.
