Would a Zorro III X-Surf work at 100Mb/s?

AFAIK there are very few (no?) 100Mbit ISA NIC's and so the conversation is moot.

The X-Surf uses a 10Mbit ISA NIC (1.25Mbyte/s) well within the bandwidth of it's ISA to Zorro II bridge.

The X-surf cards are only ZII

I think that LoadWB knows that. I believe he's speculating whether it would be possible to make a 100Mbit Zorro III ethernet card that would take advantage of the higher bandwidth available and work at 100Mbit speeds.

One of the reasons that Jens Schoenfeld did not make a ZIII version is that it would have limited his market. It would not have worked in Amiga 2000's or towered A1200's.

Chris, did you ever get that PCMCIA PC-Card USB Host I sent you? (Through Michael Boehmer).
