Networking A1200 and Linux PC
« on: July 29, 2009, 10:54:05 PM »
Hi,

Quite a while ago I posted a topic asking what the best way to link an A500+ and a Linux PC would be, and I was just wondering if, now I have an A1200, there are more/better methods than using a serial null modem cable.

Were there ever Ethernet cards or anything like that available for the A1200? Are there any PCMCIA cards that work with freely available drivers/utilities?

Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the advice! Too bad I'll have to wait for ages until I can afford an Ethernet card; I'm already running a massive debt up with my mother vis-a-vis Amiga parts =P (workbench 3.1 disks being the latest addition)

Hmm... Could anyone give me, like, a list or something (or just one or two would be fine) of highly compatible Ethernet card models to look out for?

Thanks in advance.
