I'm trying to get DOS6.2 working :) !  But I guess it is safer with no network.

There is a network add on and tcp/ip stack for dos.  IIRC it was part of the NTserver resource kit.
I had it working way back in the 90's

I was thinking of Selling this Amiga.

I am getting Emotionally Attached (after all this discovery and hard work), and can't imagine doing that.

I don't even think I will sell the RLL drive/WD controller, it's special.

Still thinking of doing the Donation to High School (if they want it).  
At least I can visit, and load up more Raffaelle information on the SD card LIBRARY BANK.

I can find another way of making money for my Fish Tank dreams.

After I copy all the floppies onto GOTEK, and some USB drives.

I can sell the floppies like this. (To make $$) :) :) :) :): )

I'd be surprised if a school would take it in a donation.  I noticed a while back they are getting picky, they don't want anything old that their it staff won't be able to support.

Around here its pretty much just chromebooks.

Just because the Amiga is old doesn't make it a fire hazard.  Samsung an Apple phones are more of a fire hazard :P

Those work if you monitor supports it, notice the note on the auction: Be sure, that your monitor or TV support 15,7kHz  horizontal synchronization"
A few monitors will, bot not many.

I'm normally not an ebay fan but search for GBS8200

It takes the 15k and doubles it to 30k typical VGA monitors will work.

I got mine within a week, I think the ship a bunch from china to a local place that holds them then forwards on once they get a sale.

I'd show you mine but it only says "no signal' and then the green screen, but thats not its fault :(

That doesn't sound good.   "No-Signal" "Green-Screen"
I don't have one of these but it appears the VGA side to your monitor isn't right.
What I read is there are jumpers.  There is are also button that you should be able to cycle through the frequencies.
I read that there is a English Menu, so I would guess that menu should appear on your VGA side once the frequency is matched between what you monitor can handle and what the Card can drive.

Also from the Input side of the card, towards the Amiga, you need to check that the voltages are correct.  I read different votagae like the other adapter I am considering need resistors on a couple of the pins.  I posted the cable diagram link above.

All the best, it should work.  Or it's a broken unit.

My Amiga is dead, I know that.  When I got it it has a leaked battery.  I unsoldered it and cleaned it up but still no go.  I just haven't had the time to work on it more.
