I can get a ethernet board for my PC clone for under $200. Yeah, but you'll only be getting an 8 bit card. Amiga ethernet boards are 16 bit. Also, you will need software. That is where the real price comes in. A good 16 bit ethernet will cost around the same amount that C= is coming out with their boards for. C='s software prices are great.
