It is a good idea even tho the current owners of for-sale
ethernet software may not beleive so....

WHy, because they have their own hardware to sell with the sw....

But look at all the A500 owners you'd pick up! Not to mention

The only alternative would be to get one of the older no longer marketed
ethernet products and start from there.

If there is PD etherenet stuff it wouldn't be hard to do!
