networking an a2000?
« on: July 28, 2006, 09:04:01 AM »
gday all,
I wish to add my a2000 to my network,is their a guide around to do this that i can download.
I have a golden gate 386 bridgeboard and an isa network card but I am not sure what do next.
Do I have to add all the hardware to get windows 3.1 up and running on the machine first or just have the bridgeboard in the machine with isa network card and install certain software to get it running.
many thanks.

okay thanks very much for that will give it a go.
Do I have to load any of the bridgeboard software or just have it inserted into the a2000.

okay thanks for the reply,
I seem to remember that there was a program that would allow the use of an ne2000 or compatible card in an a2000 without the need of a bridgeboard.
But I may have been dreaming at the time ,many thanks.

Fair enough I will see how I go with what I have at the moment before investing in any more hardware.
thanks for all your help.

I was just hoping it would let the amiga access the isa slots as the ne2000 and the bridgeboard takes up the 2 isa slots and I dont have a graphics card that can utilize the either the remaining zorro ll slot or the 8 bit slots.
