Hi.  I would like to get some info from those of you out there who have
ethernet boards for your Amiga.  First off, how much are the boards?
I know of three makes: Ameristar, Commodore (not available, but I have
heard that C='s board is just Ameristar's board) and a board from some
British firm.  I know that Ameristar's board is being marketed by GfxBase
with X, but it seems a little expensive to me.  How much are the other
boards?  Do any of them have NFS running yet?  They are all 802.3 spec
I suppose.  Any and all comments are welcomed.
 
				Thanks, Ralph

PS- Hey, Dave Haynie!  Thanks for all the help with the 2630.  I appreciate
all the info.  Got an 040 based system running yet?  I know, we cannot refer
to any projects ...  Did you get my mail concerning IBM's REOS machines?
