Hopefully someone will have the vision to create a clockport Ethernet card that works with Amigas so all those A600 and A1200 users with 8MB Fast RAM can use it all online and not be limited to 4MB/5.5MB because of a PCMCIA network card.


Add a Subway and a USB Ethernet Adaptor....and here we go.

That's a good option, but after the memory overhead of both Poseiden and an IP stack, you wouldn't be doing much. The RRNet works, but.... In any case, an unexpanded A500/A600/A1200 won't be able to do much with the BSD-based stacks. 8 MB would do it, but any geeky A600 is probably going to have an A603 with 2 MB of chip and no fast.


I know that its slow. I was able to get around 180 kb/s at max. on my A1200 but with 060 inside.

Clockport devices are notoriously picky about timing and where the power is connected. ;-) A splitter sounds dangerous.


Well, I am able to play mp3 files from USB harddrive on my Subway through the DSP of my Delfina without any problems.
