Hmmm. I missed the beginning of this conversation so I'm not sure how it got
started. Amiga Ethernet cards are known for being wildly expensive. The UK
company, Eyetech sell the Surf-XS card that appears reasonable.


SURF-XS Zorro card
Sana-II Ethernet card with UTP/BNC connectors, 2x dual IDE ports (requires
IDEfix 2000), 2x clock ports, GoldSurfer 2xS+1xP connector
?79.95

Ironically, A1200 have a greater range of options. It can use a limited
range of PCMCIA cards and can be expanded with the Mediator PCI board to
take advantage of off-the-shelf hardware.
