Hi, Spent some time today getting my A1200 back onto my home LAN with Amiga SMBFS via its 3C589 PCMCIA Card.
SMBFS being quite usable even on 10Mbit it made me think, dangerous I know, how can I get my A4000D on the LAN as well ? (o:
Are there any modern Zorro3 LAN cards for the A4000? Or is going PCI the only option..?
Is there a USB Network option ?

Cheers in advance.

The X-Surf (Zorro) was around recently (can't find it at AmigaKit at the moment,) but new they cost almost what the Deneb USB card costs, which would indeed allow you to use a cheap USB Ethernet adapter.

Personally, I'd wait for a Zorro Ethernet card in the $50 range to pop up on eBay (it does happen sometimes,) but if you're buying new, Deneb USB seems to be a better value.

Thanks, Was just looking at the Deneb on AmigaKit. What sort of USB LAN dongle can you use. Specific device/driver ?

Never used USB on an Amiga myself so someone probably has a better answer, but:
