Amiga on the web
« on: March 12, 2004, 08:57:26 AM »
Below is a mail from a chap who says that this piece of kit will fit my A1200. And its all I need to get it on the Net.
He says it was for a PC project and has no Amiga drivers.

Is it possible to get the Amiga software for this? and is it worth 30 quid?

Hi :-)

What's the more important is the Ethernet chipset used in it :-)

Ask him for the reference and check with the CNet device if it is supported, otherwise you can end up with an unusable card ;-)

Oh yeah it's only 10Mbit so you'd have to struggle along with only (10x1024)/8 = 1280KB/s transfers  :-D

It works with the Cnet.device driver BTW cos it's NE2000 compatible.

This is the auction I bought mine in:

You need a driver (FREE! :-) http://ftp.plig.org/aminetbin/find?cnetdevice)

and a TCP/IP Stack (Not Free :-(  http://ftp.plig.org/aminetbin/find?tcp+stack)


TCP/IP Stacks:
Miami      - You definately can't buy anymore (maybe second hand)
Genesis    - Might be able to find an old copy of NetConnect3 @ a shop
AmiTCP 2.0 - Free but no easy/foolproof setup util
AmiTCP 4.x - Not Free (I believe), dunno much about it though

I finaly got my NE2000 card for my 1200, nar then! the thing is; where does me squirrel whatsit go now?
My mate said he has a scsi adaptor that goes inside and comes out of that trapdoor next to the mouse plug, and this will allow a CD rom to be run from there. He doesn't use his miggy any more and hasn't done for years, but he won't part with this contraption. He says it has extra ram slots on it aswell and it cost him well over a hundred quid in its day. I offered him my AMD 2600 Processor in exchange when I upgrade to a 3200 Barton, but he just hmm's and haa's. I can't be bothered wasting my time with it any longer.
So! the question is this: -
Does anyone know what this contraption is that he has, and can I get one elswhere?

It's probably a CPU upgrade card with an SCSI controller add-on. Common names are Blizzard 1230 and Apollo.
