Hi,

In addition to CardReset, you'll need a TCP/IP stack. Check out AmiTCP as this'll provide what you need for basic networking and includes the device files required for SLIP networking over RS232. If you want to use a PCMCIA network card, you'll also need either the Prism drivers, NE2000-compatible drivers or the 3Com drivers, depending on the hardware you have.

Transfer that lot over to the Amiga and install AmiTCP (don't be concerned it's a demo, it's fully functional aside from an enforced 2-second delay when you start the TCP/IP stack). Then install the relevant device driver.

AmiTCP and the device driver files contain full instructions on what to do, and if you're familiar with Linux networking, you should find it fairly straightforward.

Any questions, ask again on A.Org!

Hi,

Lost A1200? LOL! Definitely too big to lose!

As for trying AmiTCP on an HD-less A600 - don't bother... You really do need a hard drive to get AmiTCP working. I guess it's just about theoretically possible to run AmiTCP if you have enough external floppy drives and assigns all over the place, but it wouldn't be nice!  :-)

Time to find the A1200 methinks! Or put an HD in the A600...
