Quicknet 2000

[Castellen]

The Quicknet 2000 has a BNC connector (not like a TV aerial connector when you're an RF engineer :-P) and an AUI connector (15 way D-range)

As mentioned you can use the BNC connector to connect to anything else which supports a 10 base 2 connection, or an AUI to 10 base T (RJ45) converter which are often easier and cheaper to get hold of than 10 base 2 to 10 base T adaptors.

You might need to modify the QN2000 card depending on the AUI adaptor, from memory some adaptors require ground on a certain pin which is open on the QN2000.
Also, I think it needed a fuse holder fitted or something trivial, as the adaptor requires power from the AUI port.

Miami(DX) supports the board through the z2-mb86950.mni device driver.

I also have a copy of quicknet.device somewhere if you prefer to do it that way, which would also allow support through AmiTCP/Genesis, in theory.

True, but good luck trying to find a PT4059 or equivalent.
I researched this a bit, then decided it was quicker and easier to trade half a dozen beers for a couple of AUI adaptors :-)

Finally found all my old QuickNet stuff on an A3000.
Everything I've got is available here (16kb):

Can't remember which ones I used in the end.  The computer running them has two QN2000 boards which acts as an ethernet gateway/firewall.
I seem to recall messing about for a while using a combination of Miami MNI drivers and one of these ones.
One of the nice things about Amiga software, set it up once and forget about it.  Just seems to run forever.

I don't have any spare adaptors, but they're usually not that hard to find.
Visit a decent computer shop who deals in networking, or look on Ebay.  As mentioned, they're only a few $ second hand.

There are lots of different brands available, here's an example of what they look like:

Depending on the adaptor used, you may have to link the unused pin 6 of the AUI connector to ground (bridge between pins 6 and 14 on the bottom side of the QN2000).
You'll also need to fit a fuseholder to the empty pads on the QN2000.  A 500mA fuse should do the trick.

Switch S1 has to be in a certain position for the card to work.  Can't remember which position, but you've got 3 choices.
