[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.

Posted by Steve on 16-Dec-2001 18:42 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (John Block): It, pci/agp is not an alternative . There aren't any Agp slots except on a few cards . So right there these weak idea is still behind the times in the pc world. That world is stil behind the tech times. The pci/agp solution didnt get to where it was today becasue of it being better. It got there becasue it was set to open source by IBM. It was orginal on thier mainframes. AMIGA and Atari didnt open source thiers. If Amiga and everyone else had , AMIGA would still be way ahead. Since AMiga did the foolish thing of being closed source we are where we are today. The people that started off with Amiga and went to pc becasue they said there was software for the pc when there wasnt ie 95 ,98 . Those kind where bought ought and like you still some are being bought out . This might include Amiga. We will find out. WE will also find out who deserves to carry the name AMIGAONE soon. |
