I have an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard IV (64 MB RAM, 50 MHz) that I have recently begun to update. I have installed a Subway USB on it and upgraded my hard drive to a 60 GB. I am now considering a way to connect it to my home network via Ethernet. I believe I have 2 options: a PCMCIA ethernet card or a USB Ethernet adapter via my Subway USB.
Which is better and why?
So far, the cons are:
PCMCIA - 16-bit only, takes up PCMCIA slot so I can't use my Squirrel SCSI card
USB - Only supports USB 1.1 speeds
I am planning on Wired because my A1200 is in my family room which is already wired.
At some point in the future, I would also like to get the new Indivision AGA (new version) when it comes out.
So what has been your experience and recommendations
forget about USB....it will be slow and you will suffer slowdown problems
the best way to go is PCMCIA
you can purchase on AMIKIT the easynet pcmcia ethernet card
it works very well I guarantee
