And now, what about networking with the Amiga.

There is a big hole in the SoftWare market. Amigas now need Networks.

As we all know, every machines present in offices use networks.
AppleTalk for Mac and few others for IBM. Amiga has no capability
to communicate with others ones (except with DNET (1 other)).

I can't recommend Amiga to peoples how need it in offices. Ethernet is
to expensive and not easy to install.

Last month, I saw an article about AppleTalk on comp.sys.amiga.

The author said that he can write the code but the amiga has no capability
to send packets at high speed thru serial port...

If you need an cheap, low-cost, auto-config, zorro,... board for your
software, I CAN DO IT. I have currently two quiet terminated development
and it's very easy to implement fast serial lines (specialized chips
exists and doesn't cost a lot). 25 chips on a card, including auto-conf
and buffering and for 200$ we can have an AppleTalk... And for A500
thru A99999999 ;-).

I have no time to develop software like networks but a small card is only
few weeks to develop (I can write the driver too if you need).

Time to create the NDG no ? (Network Development Group)...

Interested ??? Just reply on the Net or by mail
