A1200 clockport, what can it be used for?

[kolla]

Hopefully someone will have the vision to create a clockport Ethernet card that works with Amigas so all those A600 and A1200 users with 8MB Fast RAM can use it all online and not be limited to 4MB/5.5MB because of a PCMCIA network card. Then all we'd need is a 8MB/RTC/IDE/Clockport card for the CD32 and we'd be in expansion heaven.

Hear hear!!! :hammer:

Also, dont forget that TCP/IP is not the only thing to use ethernet for, there's also Envoy and various other "pre internet" protocols that use SANA2. I want my CD32 machines online primarly to avoid "floppy net" and hazardous (and with SX32, incompaible) pronet/parnet/serial cables.

Clockport adapter for CD32 and clockport ethernet has been on my wish list forr years

...shifting data across the clockport is also a slow business, especially when you talk about splitting it between, say, a soundcard, networking and USB.

I think those of us who want ethernet (wifi is fine, but requires way more resources than amigas can offer - get a bridge!), dont plan on having more than just that on the clockport.

Hm... nice bridge
