[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 65 of 147 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Harald Frank on 17-Dec-2001 10:48 GMT | In reply to Comment 64 (Bladerunner): Hello,
in terms of *reality* the 68k app translated trough the
Amithlon JIT (native code) ist faster as your in theorie
running native ppc app because the x86 cpus that you can
buy and use today are much faster and cheaper as the today
non buyable and therefore non-existent ppc mobos.
If they are finished and everyone can buy them somewhere,
we will see what speed these ppc boards will have with the
ppc cpu-modules available for them. Any other statememt is
not based on facts and represents only your personel opinion.
Best regards
