[Forum] Any interest in Zorro cards? | ANN.lu |
Posted on 16-Dec-2001 01:32 GMT by Ian Stedman | 147 comments View flat View list |
I am currently toying with the idea of designing a Zorro card for the Amiga. What would the interest be in a card with the following:
10/100 mbit Ethernet, 2 X High speed serial ports, 1 X ECP/EPP parallel port & IrDa?
There is some preliminary information on my website
I am also looking at the possibility of adding a Zorro to ISA bridge and making the card work in Zorro 2 and Zorro 3 Amigas.
Are there any other features you would like?
If you are interested, please email me. If there is enough interest I will look at making some prototypes and if feasible, a short production run.

Any interest in Zorro cards? : Comment 10 of 147 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 16-Dec-2001 10:19 GMT | Where is the market for such a card?
With so many PCI bus solutions now available, and new hardware supposedly round the corner, why develop yet another I/O card for Zorro slots? Unless you're talking about some kind of study project, I don't see the point.
I have a towered A4000 and a towered A1200, neither of which has PCI at the moment, but I don't envisage myself ever buying another Zorro card. |
