Any ethernet card, working in A3000.

I can pay by the paypal, my location is Moscow,Russia or Lisbon,Portugal.

Why not buy a new X-surf-100?  Fastest nic card for the amiga zorro bus, it  is simlar in price as the used market...  If you factor in the free tcp/ip stack you get with the card, it is even a better deal...

Because it's out of stock everywhere, with no ETA for another production run, or even when the card will be "finished" (i.e., USB ports working)? :(


There is another production run next month.  

I don't care about the USB capabilities of the card, I like the raw speed it gives on the network... zoom zoom:)

My only complaint is the card isn't full height, so I have to pull all the other cards to get it out of the box.  The eyehole helps with removal, but It is still annoying.

Thanks Matt!  I've looked all over the web and couldn't find anything, even a couple emails to distributors have gone unanswered.  I don't care so much about the USB on the X-Surf 100, but the USB on my Thylacine is awful under Zorro 2, just want to see if it's any better with Jens' design.  ;)  Also I like that the card is half-height, makes for better airflow inside the case!  :D


No problem Mike!

Good Point on airflow, I still would prefer having all full height cards in my 3k.  Ever since I replaced the PALS with GALS, she runs much cooler.

I would like USB on the 3k, to charge my devices :)...  

I noticed your 040 card, remember when I had a GVP040 with retina video card.  Was a great experience.
