- I've been wondering, especially in the case of the I-Card ...
-
- Supposedly, the reason you can't just use standard PCMCIA
- ethernet in A1200 is because no Ethernet cards available for PeeCee are
- close enough to PCMCIA spec to write a SANA2 driver for them. Ergo, the
- I-Card is closer to PCMCIA spec ... why can't IWorks write a PeeCee/Mac
- driver or whatever and mass-market the fucker?
-
- I assume this wouldn't apply to Ariadne or whatever, but hey ...
- hopefully Ethernet can be built in to future Amigas save a lot of
- heartache altogether ... or AmiTech can get in to Uni's ... :)
