Not unless you also have a PCI backplane in the system.

Looks like the X-Surf boards are finally sold out. You'll need to get a network card second-hand, or go the USB->Ethernet route (if you have USB).

I emailed Software Hut to see if they had any X-Surfs and I received a reply this morning that said they had none left.

Fire up some EDA CAD software and draw and make your own network card? ;)

Any ideas on the value of an x-surf network card?

I did that. It was probably more trouble than it was worth. I think I am the only person that has a home-made internal network card in my A1200 though.

A1200 uses PCMCIA, no need to make one.

A3000 should be able to use a Zorro-II design. Not much worse than a ISA-design.
Not trivial, but not hard either I estimate. What would people be willing to pay for a "new" network card?
