Crazy germans: Network card for Amiga Phoenix released

[a-pex]

Hello,

because germany is such a boring rainy country, we are developing much hardware to have fun.  :idea:  :crazy:

Just want to inform you that after the Phoenix project (http://phoenix.a1k.org), after the PhoenixFE turboboard, after the Phoenix flickerfixer, after the Phoenix 8MB memory expansion and after the Phoenix-Buddha IDE controller now the Phoenix network card ready is.

Thank you to Andrew J Wilson for the Phoenix Board (a legend will never die!!!) and to George (http://www.gb97816.homepage.t-online.de) and Jens (http://www.jschoenfeld.com/) for all the additional hardware...

You probably mean the Phoenix NIC is finished - and where can we see it? Specs?

10MBit Network Card based on XSurf3 with special Phoenix connector... Take a look in the phoenix a1k.org area. NO official statements will follow. Try to get one or not... :-)

So is this for sale?

I think one card is left...

You guys seem to be hardware genious in Germany, why not make an Amiga mobo and sell it. I am sure I could scrape together 20 people who wants to buy it  :-)

www.natami.net, these guy is living 20km next to me.

George also made a nextgen Phoenix II motherboard, with flickerfixer, IDE controller, 8MB memory, clockport and 030 onboard.

Ah.. so the Phoenix 2 mobo was/is going to be for sale?!

No, most of the people are just developers.

Everything, partlist etc. is avaible on his homepage. So some people can come together and build such a board.

YES! And I think there are enough left for every new Phoenix 2 owner.

So Jens has more cards?

Yes.

Do you know the cost?

100€ + shipping

Is documention available to build our own?

No, because it is a X-Surf III with special connector.
No self-build project.

I tried to find information about this card over at A1K.org but after hours of browsing Im unable. :boohoo:

I am sorry, you are right. The thread with pictures is in the closed phoenix area for registered member.

That looks like a really nice addon for the GB A1000! :-)

Yes it is.

Do you think the design (network card) could be adopted for the side expansion port

No, the product is ready and already produced.
