- I posted the following message to the NetBSD-Amiga mailing list a
- few days ago and have recieved almost no responses. Does nobody own
- this card?

- Hello all,
-
-
- It's me again. I had posted a question about a month ago asking
- about ethernet cards and drivers. I got a few responses but the thread
- mutated into a discussion about the relative merits of NFS vs. FTP :-).
-
- It doesn't really matter because I still wasn't able to find a card...
- Until now, that is. I have someone who wants to sell me an A4066. I am
- unfamiliar with this card or it's manufacturer (Ameristar?). The
- questions I have are these:
-
- What is a fair price for this card (he wants $200 U.S.)?
- Will it work in an A3000?
- Does it support multicasting?
- Does the NetBSD-Amiga driver for it support multicasting?
- What is the state of the NetBSD driver as of 1.1?
- (is it stable, experimental, etc.?)
- Are there any advantages/disadvantages to this card vs. others
- (A2065)?
-
- I know this may not be the most appropriate place to post this but I
- thought that I could get some feedback about this card WRT NetBSD.
-
-
- Much thanks in advance,
- Garth Corral.
