[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 30 of 147 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Steve on 16-Dec-2001 18:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 10 (Bill Hoggett): Zorro is slower but better .One zorro type two slot handles 4 pci and 2 agp slots.Get one pci to do that. You cant. That configuration is what eyetech is making. Then there is the point earlier that AMIga people wanted powerpc zorro soultions and still do. Pci and AGp open up a whole can of worms. We are just begining to see it.
Slow and steady wins the RACE . Its really not that much slower thankfully to the AMIGA itself. |
