- An idea came up in this group a while ago (I think in response to the SANA II
- specs) that someone might write a SCSI Ethernet driver that would work with
- the Asante' EN/SC adapter (a box made specifically for working on an external
- SCSI bus and providing Ethernet connections).
-
- This could provide a (somewhat) inexpensive Ethernet solution to any Amiga
- that had SCSI. (I don't know any flavors of Asante' that have 10Base-T.)
