mmm Norway... me wants one too! :-)

:python: :bump: :horse:

...just ressurecting this thread... still looking for one... thanks! :-D

The funniest avatar ever. :-D

As I said last time, the Norway is obsoleted by Poseidon's support for USB to Ethernet converters. Just get one of those, they're cheap!

Amiga users are not deterred by obsolesence. :)

anybody know what sort of transfer rates you can through one of this on the miggy. I have a 603e/175, 040/25
is there a ppc version of the usb stack ?
-
I get quite respectable results using an rtl8139 with a mediator: up to 1.8MB/sec.
Using the x-surf (which I imagine would be comparable to the Norway card), I get maximum of about 1.2MB/Sec
Edit: I don't think it makes any difference if you have a PPC or not. I had a PPC until just two days ago. Now I'm running on 68060 only and my network speeds are the same.

SOrry my fault, I meant using a usb to ethernet converter
im guessing its the maximum of usb 1, s that 1.5mbs cant remeber

you are dead wrong, I have one and on my kickflash+subway combo on a 060 csppc, I get 40-60kb/sec....
that is not very usefull....
-
I get speeds comparable to (and faster than) my old XSurf using an Algor and Linksys USB100TX. Just got 300KB/s on a test transfer.
Besides, the 1.xMB/s rates of other cards are just theoretical meximums. Never under any conditions have I seen a transfer that fast using such hardware.
-
maybe it is the dongle then?? I have an SMC 220USB dongle...
maybe I need to test more...!
-
The bottleneck on your Subway system is probably the Subway - the clockport doesn't have anywhere near enough bandwidth to get the full speed out of whatever's connected to the Subway.
If you've already got such an adapter, give it a try on your Zorro system and see how it fares. If it's still too slow for you, then I'll shut up about USB->Ethernet ;-)

Keropi: just pluck an rtl8139D out of the trash somewhere, install it in your grexx, and set up devs:networks/rtl_8139.device to run at 100M full duplex. with a cat5 crossover cable to a peesea you should be able to get 1.5MB/sec easily. The peesea needs to be locked at 100M-FD, too. Same with switches, hubs in between.

@Matt-H
luckily I have also an AlgorPRO on my other ppc4000, I will give it there a try...
@stopthegop:
lol man, I know, I have 2 A4000's now, both ppc, one G-Rex'ed fully and the other zorro+goldengate486+isa cards...! :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
@Keropi
2 ppc's:-o
-
I told you before: Keropi buys all!
-
well.... I have spent much money in brag hardware...
2 x csppc
1 x grex4000D
2 x goldengate486slc
1 x picassoIV fully loaded...
algorPro, tower kits, spare 24bit scandoublers, 060 accelerators... many nice A4000 hardware :crazy:
it is just a matter of how much u are willing/afford to spent...

That's our keropi! :lol:
I've only one a4kppc, but it is strange how spareparts become sooner or later full computers. Some time ago I decided to get spare a4k motherboard, for just in case. Well, after towering my first a4k I naturally had spare busboard and original case. Then I found old cpucard (030) and decided to put them together. Now I'm spending time and money to upgrade this machine too... ;-)
