- Just come back from a month on holiday, and theres all this news about
- new machines to assimilate.. a lot seems to have happened!
-
- I hear that the Acorn Ethernet card is now in Version III and comes with
- support for AUN etc in the podule firmwire all for the infinitely more
- reasonable price of 149 quid exc. vat. If thats true, then its a big step
- forward for ethernet on the archimedes, the original 299 quid card was
- just plain ridiculous in pricing terms.
-
- Are new Unix device drivers needed for the version 3 card?
