[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.

There are alot more BeOS users than there are AmigaOS users, believe me.

But linux is not an end-user os, it's an OS for geeks. Geeks don't care for games.

MS is invincible. POINT. Hiding in PPC-world ain't gonna make any difference.

Please, x86 is the most open architecture there is.
Sure, users have the choice to buy a different system, but most won't. If we can't get users to use AmigaOS, we have to bring it to them |
