Have I found the item of my dreams???
« on: March 12, 2005, 06:17:50 AM »
I'm still clinging to the (admitedly) Quixotic notion of putting an A500 online. :lol:

Could I do it with the following?
Check out this item on eBay.

I suppose I would need some sort of adaptor to go from 10Base2 or 10Base5 to 10BaseT

Of course, this would all presume the auction doesn't go beyond my budget :-o

Comments, advice ???

@ all

Thanks for the feedback :-) Some different ideas there, but I like to consider all of the angles of a question.

Forget that thing. Find yourself a nice Bodeage Bay case and add networking and all other manner of Zorro II cards to your A500. The only drawback is you will need a big strong desk to hold up the bodega bay since it redefines "big footprint".



 :lol: That would be a dream solution for sure.  Back in the day ;-) I admired the Bodega Bay, but never bought one.  Now I regret the indiscretions of my youth :insane: When was the last time a Bodega Bay came up on eBay?

Apparently, the last Bodega Bay available in the free world was bought just a few days before I expressed interest in it :lol:

@Floid

Thanks for the link.  I'll NEVER outgrow that many ports on my little home network, and for $5.00 :-D

Now if I can just figure out how to use it :lol:
