[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 34 of 147 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 16-Dec-2001 18:33 GMT | In reply to Comment 30 (Steve): That's completely wrong. The Eyetech AmigaOne board is a self-contained motherboard which connects to the A1200 using the latter as the expansion board. Since the only data going through the Z2 slot is calls to the I/O and AGA chipset, the bottleneck isn't too significant. The Z2 slot does NOT handle "4 PCI and 2 AGP slots". The CPU, memory and PCI/AGP slots are all on the AmigaOne side of the Z2 bus, and don't have to use it.
Where did you get this "can of worms" business from? Shawn the bus arch troll? |
