ISA Ethernet Card

Um, as far as I know an A4000 has no ISA slots.

yes A4000 has ISA slots but they carry only the power lines.

To activate it, you must install a BridgeBoard card.

The problem is that there aren't drivers for ISA cards.

CORRECTION:

so . . .yes MiamiDX has a MNI driver for GoldenGate2 card (ISA bridgeboard card) with Ethernet 3COM support.

The problen now, is to find a GoldenGate2 card :-)

So, who produced these GoldenGate2 card? Or what does it cost in the second hand?

quite impossible to find it! and very expensive too.

I suggest you, to buy a XSurf2 Zorro card (115,00 EUR) perfect for LAN and DSL connection.

To be honest, if you really fancy keeoing the A4000 going, get some PCI board and use cheap PCI network card (and a PCI Sound card and a PCI Gfx card).

Your Amiga will thank you, by being much better.


yes ofcourse but . . . .you must before buy a Mediator card for A4000D (bad idea IMHO) or a PowerTower/Mirage4000 with Mediator card in bundle . . . not sure the  cheepest way :-)

If the user need only an Ethernet card fot its A4000, the best choise, is a XSurf2.
