- There are arcnet cards that fit on the expansion port on an amiga 500
- I have some of them. I also have some that fit in a slot in the 2000. This
- is at work, but we have had the cards since at least mid 1988, when I was
- hired, and a bit before that. Part of a discontinued project to use amiga
- 500's as low cost color graphics terminals to run our educational courseware.
- I have been trying to find out who made these cards and if they are
- compatible with any software, but have not had any success. I have a simple
- upload and download program written so I can transfer files from the internet
- to my amiga 2000'S floppy to take home to my amiga 4000.
