Need a zorro ethernet card for my A4000. I am in the U.S, but can also receive shipments in Europe (shipping to the U.S. preferred). Thanks!

If everything else fails, you can use a Zorro card with built-in clockport interface (the Buddha, for example) and add a Subway to it.

The Subway is a USB card, so all you need then is a dirty cheap USB-to-Ethernet adaptor.
 
Thanks for the tip, but it looks like it would be even harder to collect these parts.

Should have snagged X-Surf while it was still available... anyone knows why they are no longer made?

I would guess that it's because Jens is really busy with his latest builds. I would hope and imagine that when time permits, he will either make another batch or re-design an even beter solution.
 
I have just sold my spare X-Surf, but I have a spare Ariadne II card. Feel free to send me a offer through PM.
 
I know this is off-topic, but it seems to me that a guy as brilliant as Jens could design a net board from scratch. From the looks of the "Wanted Hardware" forum, he could probably make some serious bank on such a product based on how many people are looking for network cards for their big-box Amigas.

I know there is a lot of off-topic stuff in this thread... but are Buddha and Subway still available? If not, I'd think looking for an XSurf would be comparativley easier, since you'd only be looking for one out of production item...
 
<oh, crap, I thought I bumping my post on amiga.org, sorry!>

will not bump it again until 3 wks pass!
 
I've got both an Ariadne II and an X-Surf 3cc that I'd be willing to part with. They were originally intended for a couple of A4000 restorations, but that has fallen through and I don't need the boards now.

I only have the boards (no manuals or original driver disks), but I can provide copies of the driver disks. Both boards are in working condition.

$200 plus S&H for your choice.

My guess is because the Deneb USB card came along, but as Chris Hodges and Michael Böhmer have since fell out, there is definitely the demand for another X-Surf production run.

Sent payment for X-Surf 3cc! Please mark this as found.
 
Indeed. Found Deneb (and a cheap one to boot :cool:) and X-Surf 3cc on the same day... I will likely sell X-Surf later but snatched it for now.
 
Declaring interest in the Adriane II card if its available.

I cant PM quite yet.

Or an X-Surf or Subway for an A4000D.

My floppy just died so I cant crossdos anything.
And there's no CDROM on it (trying to get it to work but I think I need newer GVP scsi drivers).
