A1200 - CNet CN40BCPC Ethernet setup help, and accelorator board help
« on: July 10, 2003, 11:58:22 AM »
Hi  (A1200)
I'm sure you possibly have answered similar questions. But could someone help please

1 - I have a what I assume to be accelorator board with 16mb ram.  I have looked in show config and displays Boards :
 Board + ROM (HD?) (Unidentified) : Prod=8738/35 ($2222/$23) (@$E90000 64K)
What I wanted to know is if board is installed correctly, memory shows 16mb.  This is 2nd user machine and I am trying to get into workings of the machine.  Is it an accelorator?

2 - I bought a CNet CN40BCPC card from ebay which goes into PCMCIA port and connects via RJ45 connector to my PC.  Having been used to plug n play on PC, I am now stuck on how to set up.  I am about to try to upgrade from 3.1 workbench to 3.5 will this help  - having maybe more options (just like win 98 to win xp on PC).  Also I expected there to be some sort of response on CNet card when plugged in - Link or TX/RX don't light up (maybe not working).  Also what I am trying to do is network to my PC and share broadband line through my PC

Help please as I am discouraged with things like above, having always used PC's since forever.
Thanks
Paul

It is an Apollo (don't know wich CPU uses) accelerator card with 16 MB of ram onboard.

You can use a program like SysSpeed or from shell showconfig, to know wich CPU you have.

I cant really tell if the board you have includes a processor. Run the program sysinfo in your utilities drawer, it'll let you know what's the processor in your system.

As for the network card, check cnet.device on aminet. It is a driver for pcmcia network cards. You'll also need a TCP/IP stack like Miami, or if you go for the 3.9 OS, Genesis is included. The driver will be loaded by the TCP stack.
