[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 Skal Loret on 16-Dec-2001 21:44 GMT | In reply to Comment 47 (priest): WHAT??!!?? Plug a Zorro Card into a PCI connector? Ohhhhh...sweeeeeeeet bleedin' jezuz on a garage creeper!
Do you REALLY want Amiga-oriented hardware and software companies to distribute their very limited resources to something like that?
I mean, just the other day, someone called the office, asking us to build the AAA into a new "SuperAmiga"...<groan><smacks head into keyboard>
Really, sportsfans...could you really, really, really do sufferin' bastards like me a favor and LEARN ABOUT HARDWARE? Maybe just a little bit?
Of course, if someone wants to give us...ohhhh say, $100 million in a credit line, I suppose we could develop something new and different, or just pretend to and burn through it, in a good dotcom fashion. I can think of worse fates. Lots of them.
Please people: Let's get serious here. Enough with the glue bags, huh?
Oh, and by the way: I work with, and talk to, this guy who knows what AAA was and what it was doing at the time of "The Demise". Nothing. So Shawn(and your many, many personalities), don't even THINK of starting. I'll sic him on you, son.
