- We recently had a PowerMac in our Amiga Network (about 20 Amigas
- with Ariadne) and there were no problems.
-
- You only have to use Ethernet as physical transport medium and
- MacTCP and AmiTCP to communicate.

- PS. I can't remember if it were a PowerMac 7200/7500 but it only
- had an UTP port so we had to use a transceiver (a hub will
- work, too)
