- I'm interested in networking my 1200, through a 10BaseT connector - that I
- have available in my room. I believe the I-Card has such a connector.
-
- Would you (or anybody else), please, *elaborate* on the specs of this
- PCMCIA-
- card...
-
- * - Speed and other operating specs. (look below for interesting data)
- * - Size (Does it extend very much from the A1200 casing)
- * - Availability in Europe (Sweden?)
- Import US -> SWE => $300 +4%(?) customs +25% "VAT" := $390
- (for a "credit card" sized thingy 8-* )
- * - Do you have student and/or quantity-discounts
