Hello Everyone, 
     This is my first post to the net, so if I do anything wrong, 
don't flame me too much. :-)
          
     My question is this: Does anyone know anything about the 
availability of the A560 or A2060 cards? These are supposed to
be ArcNet cards being developed by CBM. ArcNet networking 
capability is the one thing that would allow me to work a few
Amiga's into the bigger picture where I work. We install a lot
of networks, and a lot of the applications the customers want 
could be easily handled by an Amiga. With an ArcNet card, and
Novell Netware software, this could become a possibility.
     Also, what about the software being developed to work with
these cards? The devcon info file I read said that Novell Netware
was what was being worked on. Amiga World also had a little
column about this... Is it just gonna be software that is
'compatible' with Novell's product, or is it being developed by
them/in conjunction with them?
          
Thanks in advance for any help/info anyone can give me!
