- While reading these messages, I remembered reading about an Australian
- ethernet card.. I looked through my Amiga mag back issues and found it:
- QuickNet. Here are some infos: (This is about 15 months old though and I have
- never seen any of these cards for sale anywhere.)
-
- QN500 - For A500
- - 16bit Ethernet IEEE802.3 Standard - Fujitsu Ethernet Chipset, Optional
- Memory Expansion (with max 2 SIMMs)
- - SIMM Type: Standard 32bit RAM 1 and 4MB SIMMs)
- - Output: Twisted Pair (WD), Cheapnet (BNC)
- QN1200 - For A1200
- - Same as above
- QN2000 - A2000/3000/4000
- - Same as above, but no RAM option
- QN3000+ - A4000
- - Same as above but *32bit* !
- - Also no RAM option
-
- SANA2 drivers for the ports are included. Envoy works. ENLAN doesn't. The Oxxi
- Novell-Client software doesn't work, as there is no driver for the QuickNet
- yet.
-
- There is also the QuickNet software, which is pretty much the same as Envoy. I
- can post more infos if anyone is interested.

- I don't know very much about ethernet, so I'm not sure if this system is any
- good. And, of course, my info is WAY out of date, so who knows if this thing
- still exists.
