[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 129 of 147 | ANN.lu |
Posted by .john on 19-Dec-2001 04:02 GMT | In reply to Comment 49 (Ian Stedman): Now, I am no Hardware guy at all. The only knowledge I have is how to act in hope to get my PIC IRQs right. (Seems impossible with a Mobo that has 3 unique IRQs and 5 slots + AGP) ;-)
When I saw that you use a multi-function chip I immediately thought:
Why not a Southbridge ? Your anser may be: Technically imopssible, this is another pair of shoes.
But if not: A southbridge would bring us
AC97 soundchip/codec along with MIDI, PC-Joystick (Make sure to lead all I/O to a drivebay, optional of course)
Ethernet
UDMA EIDE
ser/par
add an USB2 controller
add a plugin slot (for an optional Firewire controller, there are still video people using the Amiga I have been told, Toaster and so....) |
