Amiga 1200 internet access...

[Homo-AGA]

Hi to all out there!

First of all since the winter is back, I wish to express the feeling that I am cold. The second thing that I would like to say is that I am in search of a job since it's been some time since I finished uni, and throughout all this endless spare time I decided to devote it on my Amiga passion. Or perhaps it is just one of my flashback/nostalgia periods. My A500 is back home, I am here stuck with a A600 with a faulty drive, and recently I bought an A1200 with 8MB extra memory and about a gig HD. Propably she(oops) will have to stay in the living room next to the TV to play a couple of games with (Goal! Sensi etc.), but WAIT!
When I woke up one morning with lots of snut in my eyes (not this snot, the other I mean), and before even taking the first sip of cofee, a strong cold breeze hit me and I said: WTF, perhaps we can have it to listen to some internet when we are cookin or taking a shower (the shower isn't far).
The guy that sold me the computer couldn't say if it was a Blizzard/Zorro etc. expansion card, but the main thing that I would like to ask you is what would I possibly need for it to keep it up and running for internet. Any software for streaming live radio?   :-?

Thanks for your time guys...

shall I presume that standard PCMCIA laptop network cards don't work? Because I have one for my old laptop. Thanks for your replies guys

You see why Iam sayign this is because I already have a 10?100 PCMCIA ethernet card that fitted in my toshiba laptop (Win98). But I guess we are talking about 32-bit bus architecture here huh?  :madashell: hmmm... and what i see as far as prices are concerned for one of these that fit to A1200/600 is not so encouraging...

The guy that I bought the amiga from told me that the expansion board with 8Meg on, has a floating point for an extra microprocessor? Could it be that it IS an accelerator card? I really wouldn't like to spoil the case, because the system looks like new. By the way the hard disk drive is 880meg IBM  SCSI. More updates to come. Thanks!

I just checked it, but propably it isn't more than just a RAM module: A1200 8MEG RAM/FPU/ITC or something like that, and has a slot for a microprocessor.

Anyway, can I just use the current configuration with a PCMCIA ethernet card and WB 3.1 to have acess to internet, or would i possibly need more than that?
