I too plan on adding a ethernet to my A2000. What would be recommended if I stick to Zorro II? or would an old ISA NIC work in an A2000 without a bridgeboard? Will Workbench be able to sonfigure it

With the help of all the people in this thread, I was able to get both ISA NIC to work and the Zorro II, to work with the Amiga side.  You could possibly use a A2088 as the bridge and an old ISA NIC, both they are typically cheap with etherbridge.device the only issue I had was finding the ISA NIC dos drivers.
Edit *only problem with this is the a2088 can only use 8bit ISA NIC*

I still have not gotten the Zorro II to work with the PC side......though I think it is user  configuration error, (the ATUtilities is in German, my German is a bit rusty, has been 20 years since I used it regularly)

I am having problems getting amicdex working with my config, I suspect this may be the fusion forty interaction with the trumpcard, I am going to try another scsi.  I have a spare dataflyer (same scsi chip as the trumpcard, both are PIO) or borrow a friends GVP scsi (a true dma card).  I have a scsi cdrom connected to the PC side cardinal scsi controller, However I would like to remove this, so I can close my case.



Update:
I was able to get amicdex to work with the GVP scsi card/Fusion Forty.   before I condemn the trumpcard it could be the Fusion Forty/trumpcard PIO that could be the issue.
