- >> Amiga ethernet cards cannot be NE2000 compatable because NE2000
- is a PC-slot card.<<
-
- But if you use a GG2+ bridgecard yuo can plug an NE2000 (or NE1000 for
- that matter) into the PC slots on your A1500/2000/3000/4000/1200tower and
- address them as native SANA-compliant AmigaDos devices using the supplied
- device drivers.
- The whole shooting match (GG2+, drivers, NE2000 card) is not much more
- than half the cost of an Amiga ethernet card, and supports 4xcom ports
- (inc 28.8pc modem cards and 16550 buffered serial chips), 3xprinter ports
- and 2xIDE drives as standard Amigados devices if you install a standard
- PC ISA IDEO card for another $20 or so.
