OS4 and MorphOS Beta versions of PCMCIA network drivers

[ncafferkey]

Beta versions of prism2.device and etherlink3.device (a replacement for 3c589.device) that support PCMCIA cards under AmigaOS4 and MorphOS are now available for download. Thanks must go to Chris McGonagle for testing several versions of the OS4 drivers on a PPC-equipped A1200 as I don't have such hardware.

Be sure to install the provided 68k pccard.library in LIBS:. Further information about installation, compatible cards and contact details can be found in the older prism2 and 3c589 archives on Aminet.

Should we hope for a cnet.device, as well?

Not from me. cnet.device is maintained by others. A PPC-native MorphOS version is already distributed on the MorphOS PowerUP CD.

Thanks. I can't be sure what the exact problem is with using the PCI cards in the Pegasos II. It could have been a MorphOS problem with the Pegasos II's PCI bus (the card works in the Pegasos II with Linux 2.4 but not with 2.6). I did read one report that it worked properly on the Pegasos I. I haven't tried MorphOS 2.0 yet.
