Erm, the PCMCIA card is worth about $10.  Cheapest new NIC that fits is an X-Surf at just a teensy bit more than that! (what I'm trying to say is your unlikely to find someone willing to swap ;-)).

fair enough.  I paid £5 (about $7-$8) a month ago - for use with an old 486 laptop thats now broken anyway ... ho hum ... it'll now serve as an appertiser bundled with my A1200 when I get round to selling it!

Probably not worth the development costs!  I got a second hand X-Surf for £35, havn't been able to test it yet (house upside down, only got my lap for my laptop ATM!).

It's not the tidiest solution but I'm looking forward to trying out the (non-bootable) IDE interface.  Redrumloa had new X-Surf2s in pretty cheap ($130) last time I checked.
