As the listing states "sold as is", there's no obligation to take it back and one must assume that it could be non-fuctional. Purchase at you own risk.

Yep, what I thought. Are there any plans for a zorro based network card remake? Or usb card?  I think there is a good market out there....

Have no idea about its operational status, since I didn't have any vintage network equipment to try it out.  I rescued three A2000's from someone that I've cleaned up, and tried to get operational.  Just like the Video Toaster and TBCs that I've also had (and sold the VT), I don't have any way of testing them.  All I could do was put it in and see if it showed up in Autoconfig.  (Edit:  The guy who gave me the systems stated that he did use it to share with his Windows 95 system, and it was working, but he didn't have any network equipment to give me to bridge my current network to it with coax or the AUI connector.)

I've sold stuff on eBay since 1998 (with 100% positive feedback), and if I'm unsure about the operational status of something (i.e. I can't verify it), it's sold as-is.  Vintage stuff I can verify the operation of might still be sold as-is, but I show pictures of it working, say that I got it to work but YMMV, etc.

Now, the three A2000's, I've gotten for the most part up and running.  I'll be taking Sysinfo snaps on these and selling them probably on here after verifying operation and doing a price check with everyone.  One is a stock A2000 with A2091 (no extra memory, apparently), one is an A2000 with GVP '030 and 2MB Agnus , and one is an A2000 with a 68040 (I might keep that one) with 2MB Agnus.  The keyboards are iffy (some keys pop up), but seem to work.  I had to buy a keyboard and mouse adapter to use PS/2 stuff for the third one, as the guy only gave me two keyboards and mice.

I've been trying to hack PC floppy drives to get the drives working on these, because for the most part, the floppies were shot.
