Can CD32 Connect to Internet?

Can the Amiga CD32 Connect to the internet? What software do you need to make it work.

The Plipbox should work providing you can afford one of those SX type expansion units to give you the parallel port (I think there's one on eBay atm for £1000).

But...Why? It's supposed to be a games console! Leave it be! Saying that, I've always wanted an 030 CD32 with a hard disk in a tower... I'll just contradict myself. These expansions are rediculously expensive though. Not sure the demand is there either.

We're not discounting the benefit of turning a CD32 into a fully functioning 030 50Mhz CD based Amiga computer, it is quite frankly awesome as a OS3.9 machine with full CD32 compatibility and highly portable! However, it will never run OS4.x as no one is going to retrofit a CD32 with a PPC accelerator at this point in our history. What would be the point? Where is the market? The SX32 line only sold around 2,000 units from 1995-98 as far as I can remember. An awesome product but the market simply wasn't there. People ditched the CD32 to buy a Playstation and didn't think to upgrade their Amigas like I did.

Wasn't there a 68K version of OS4? :laugh1:
