[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.

Ummm... Although I never tried it out, I hear the Amithlon version works really fast. However, when the demo was released I tried it out on WinUUAE and I reported (here on ann) that it had some problems. Not sure why but it seems rather slugish on my WinUAE setup. It is therefore important not to mix up the two emulators. I know a lot of people think they are all the same but they are not.

Then you should set a good example.
