PCMCIA ethernet cards... again...

[spavatch]

Hey.
Is there a list of Amiga-compatible PCMCIA NICs anywhere around? I've been trying to find one but I had no luck...

[that_punk_guy]

With the 3com driver on Aminet:

3Com
3c562, 3c562B, 3c562C, 3c562D, 3c563B, 3c563C, 3c563D, 3c589, 3c589B, 3c589C, 3c589D

3Com Megahertz
3C3FEM556C, 3CCE589EC, 3CCE589ET, 3CCEM556, 3CCEM556B [tested], 3CXE589D, 3CXE589EC 3CXEM556

Farallon
EtherMac *, EtherWave *

Hitachi
HT-4840-13

Motorola
Marquis *

I think the asterisk means "untested."

I don't know about other drivers and their support, but 3com cards are pretty easy to come by.

I don't know about other drivers and their support, but 3com cards are pretty easy to come by.

There's a list of supported cards in the cnet.device (an alternative PCMCIA network driver that supports a different range of cards) archive:

cnetdevice.lha

Well, I have one marked as:
3Com EtherlinkIII 562D/563D
Looked in that readme and thats why I bought it.

Couldn't make it working till now :-(
Author of the 3c589.device answered me on that forum and said that he discovered some difficulties with that card.
Have a look:

I still have a few PCMCIA network cards for sale... they are all tested and work fine with cnet.device.

I am willing to ship worldwide and I accept paypal payments.

All I ask is £10 if your in the UK for one inc postage, I can calculate postage for other countries too.

Get the best A600/A1200 compatible PCMCIA 10Mbit Ethernet card there is from this guy (UK based) @ only 3GBP a piece:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3461313778

They feature an all-in-one design with no nasty dongles to worry about like with other cards. This card is in the compatibility list of the CNET driver from Aminet. I bought 5 cards recently from this guy. They arrived fine here in Canada. Thumbs up.

[spavatch]

Will this one work with an ordinary A600HD?

[Linchpin]

oooo good cards tho :-)

I got mine offa ebay.. cant remember the price.

I too bought a PCMCIA ethernet card from eBay -- a Linksys Combo PCMCIA model.  The software that came with it is all PC and Novell -- not an Amiga file in sight.  What would you guys suggest for necessary software and where would it be put on the A1200 Workbench?

Ya need to find out if your card is compatible, and what driver supports it. I aint no expert on this, but for example mine is a Gray Cell II and it uses the cnet.device driver, i put the card in , click on the proggy and bingo it detects the card make, model, everything. Pretty neat. I dunno if your card is supported, is it a 100mbps card or 10mbps?
