and as I dont have a big box Amiga will put on the market place soon


MPX EN5038 95040T1 919E
MPX EN50388 07517T1 032B
COMPAQ NETELLIGENT (Card name) INTEL 5882558B L907EB05 (Chip)

If Im not mistaken there's an rtl8139 openpci driver. Also, I think most ne2k compatible cards should be ok (which would include rtl8029).

Supported Network cards will depand on what hardware and OS you have for example the RTL8139 is supported by the Mediator and OS3.x but not OS4.x, the latter only supports RTL8029 based PCI cards.

So the best thing is to let us know what your setup is.

Steve.

Edit:

Oh I see you don't have a Big Box Amiga - in that case I suggest you check out the compatibility listings of the PCI Busboard's

I.e:

http://www.elbox.com/mediator_driver_guide.html
http://grex.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=37

I couldn't find the list for the Prometheus, but I'm sure with a bit of Googling you'll find it!

Sorry should have made it clear
I don't want to use them, I am clearing out some old stuff and have about 50 assorted network cards - the type listed

I will post the Rtl cards on the Market Place later

Sell them as what they are... PCI NIC Cards.
Amiga usage depends on several things as mentioned above. Putting Amiga compatible in your ad in order to charge more for them isn't going to fool anyone.

Sorry, it's a common tactic on ebay.
You can cross reference your cards here for Mediator owners:
