Can anyone do me a small favour please?
« on: October 02, 2003, 01:42:46 PM »
I want to get a PCMCIA ethernet card for my A1200.

The problem is, that I can't view the list of compatible cards, since Winzip with the LHA addon on my windows laptop doesn't seem to want to unpack the cnet driver 3c589.lha that's on Amibench, first it complained the file names were too long - so I moved the file closer to Winzip's location to get around this, then it curiously says there's not enough disk space available (I'd assume 13gig would be enough!).

 With my old laptop, I'd put the files on a DD disk I'd formatted on the Amiga, but (I know this is rather crippling) I don't have a floppy drive on this laptop :-(

So I essentially have no way of transferring files to the Amiga until I get a network card, or a floppy for the laptop, save formatting a DD disk, giving it to a friend, getting him to download the file and copy it onto disk, etc etc

So can anyone email/PM me a list of compatible cards, so at least I can start looking out for one? It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

hosed?

my desktop A1200 has just got a ram expansion and fpu...
but I do have a non-working Apollo 1240/25 that I'm trying to get going. Is it only Blizzards that have this problem?
