ARCnet to ETHERnet broker

[Zac67]

@Trev
Dunno about Netware 2, but Netware 3 & 4 are no problem (I dimly remember some problems with NW3 and the 192.168/16 range, better stick to 172.16/12 then) - we're still routing via Nw4 at work.

Frames from ARCNET and Ethernet are different anyway, so no additional worry.

I knew there had to be a reason I have been hoarding this stuff for ten years  
I have an Amiga A560 Arcnet for the A500 and a A2060 Zorro Arcnet for big boxes, so Miami on the big box should be able to route between the A2060 and  the Xsurf. And yes, I have an ISA Arcnet board for my BridgeBoard!

Now if I can only find an PP&S DoubleTalk A500 adapter to talk to my DoubleTalk zorro boards and my Appletalk ISA card ...

Thats some set-up

Thanks, Tension!

It should be mentioned as a disadvantage that ARCNet uses the now rare RG-62/U coax cable, which is 93 ohms. However, between CBM ARCNet hardware, I know people that have used the much more common ~50 ohm RG-58A/U that was used in "thin" Ethernet 10BASE2 daisy chains, from back in ancient A2065 days.
