- Hello all your hardware guys! :)
-
- We got a fax through at work today selling all bits of PC hardware, and it got
- me thinking. One of the things they sell if a parallel-port Ethernet card. It's
- only about 45.
-
- Now is there /anything/ stopping me from getting one of these and a big
- technical book on the Ethernet communication protocol, and writing my own
- driver for it for the Amiga? That way you could network any number of Amigas to
- each other, to PCs, to whatever you wanted, for 45 a shot!
-
- What have I missed that's going to mean that this is impossible?
