Hello all.
Here's a piece of kit I never thought I'd consider letting go.
Its a Design IT A3020/A4000 Ethernet Card. It plugs into the internal Ethernet socket found only in the Acorn A3020 and A4000 computers.
This one is brand-new (old stock), never used, and most importantly has the external adaptor (MAU) - these usually go missing and the card is useless without one! Better still; it's the even more uncommon RJ45 version - usually BNC.
Benefits:
You can network your A3020/A4000 and still have your internal 'podule' slot free for other upgrades.
Why?
Because I don't own an A3020/A4000 and after studying the schematics hacking this card into an A3000 isn't going to happen.
So I'm after a standard Ethernet mini-podule instead. (RJ45 version only please)
So:
Design IT A3020/A4000 Ethernet Card for a RJ45 Ethernet mini-podule (not BNC). Straight swap.
Mine should be working (as it's unused) but I can't test it. So I suggest if either card proves non-functional they get swapped-back.
Thanks.

Like this:
This one happens to be an ANT Ethernet mini-podule
