X-surf 3cc network card
« on: February 18, 2010, 05:03:00 AM »
Has anyone here used this card?
I noticed on Amigakit.com there are 3 photos.
The one up top shows extra conections.
Does anyone know what they are for and why the bottom photos do not have them?
Thanks.

I have one in use now.  The connections are clock and IDE connections.  Works great with Miami, MiamiDX, and Genesis.

The upmost is probably the latest version.
http://www.jschoenfeld.com/products/xsurf2_e.htm - probably the text portion is up to date?
Using mine just for network connection so far.

A4000D with CyberStorm MKIII 50MHz 68060.

I previously had it in my GVP 040 Combo accelerated Amiga 2000.

I am thinking of doing an A500 Zorro Hack and wanted to put the computer on a network. I hope to expand the idea to two slots.
I put a 3.1 rom in it to do external booting, I am a bit rusty on how an A500 boots from cd or hd.
I hope the 68000 is fast enough for the job.
Thanks for the reply.

You'd probably get the same network speeds with an A500 if you used a serial cable. And obviously it is a lot cheaper.

From the web site, "26-pin expansion port just like Buddha/Catweasel Z-II controllers "
what can I use this for?
Thanks.

Had this card from AmigaKit some time ago when I had an A4000D.
Worked like a charm in 3.9, 4.0 and MOS (with patched device) IIRC.
Tried to hook my Delfina via the 26pin connector but never worked. Better use the clockports.

It was one of the firts upgrades I got for my A4000D after upgrading to WB3.1 (KS40.68) Roms. It was very easy to set up using Miami. I also enabled the IDE port to hook up a DVD drive without any issues.

Thanks.
edit:
Someone was looking for a way to get an A500 online.
Amigakit has a clock port board that fits under the  cpu.
He would need a serial to ethernet converter.
clockport to serial and serial to ethernet or clockport to usb and then usb to ethernet.
This is probably expensive.
I have seen some but do not know how they work.
If mpdos had ethernet capabilities, that would be nice or hook an A500 to an old pc.

there have been 3 versions of it; I have a v2, dead easy to setup, works like a charm but I have not tried the extra interfaces yet (nor needed to)

The new 3cc version does not come with the 26-pin header - it was removed as there was no demand for it.

The clockports are still present on the X-Surf 3cc
