Networking A500's

[orange]

have you looked at magplip: http://aminet.net/package/comm/net/magPLIP38.1
?
notice it has slightly different cable from parnet, you could network them with a linux PC with special cable. pci cards with parallel ports are probably very cheap.

I've  been using a serial port and an old special hub/router with rs232 and ethernet ports. slow, but works.

Thanks for the link: I didn't know.
It's a cool project!
Maybe is not that fast, but it's very elegant for machines like A500.

I like it too, had a same idea: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=422820&postcount=51

iirc, someone managed to network computers using SCSI ports. should be quite fast.
