OS3.9 has some basic software to get you on the web, it's all you Need, but there's better. Genesis (3.9's TCP/IP) is okay I hear, minus the lack of DHCP. The 1200 supports certain 16bit PCMCIA cadrs, note the 16bit. There are a couple drivers on Aminet, I think cnet is one of them. 3c509 cards seem to be popular (it's some 3com chipset) and you can get them for 10 USD or less. That odd connector needs what people call a dongle, so make sure to get one if you buy a new card (I'd bet you'll have to if that card is 32bit). Having never owned a 1200, don't know much about the PCMCIA fix, it has something to do with a reset signal, and is just annoying to work with, but i think it's just cutting a line or soldering one extra connection, and not really hard. That PCMCIA slot probly makes the 1200 the cheapest classic (other than 600) to get on the web...
