ethernet on Amiga 500?

[countzero]

with all due respect, I can't see why you want to add an IDE controller while you have the superior GVP scsi controller on the A530.

Amigan Rule #1 - If you have a SCSI controller on your accelerator, USE it ! It will give much better performance than any other solution

Amigan rule #2 - Always choose SCSI over IDE, exception may be the FAST ATA board on an A1200, but that can also be discussed.

As for ethernet, are you sure you have drivers for the USB-ethernet converter ?

The easiest way to add ethernet to the 500 assuming you have the subway would be the norway ethernet module designed to plug onto the subway/highway/algor usb cards.

Are you sure you can plug a Norway to Subway ? It isn't mentioned anywhere, as subway doesn't seem to have that 38 pin expansion port.

I think somebody should produce a simple ethernet card compatible with the clockport interface. It'll be great with the A500 clockports and A600 clockport on the new ram card. (preferably working with 68000)
