Closed Amiga 2000 Zorro networking card

[RetroNinja]

I'm looking for some type of networking card to install in my A2000. I am aware that most (all?) cards need need a 68020 or better and 2-3 MB RAM. Ideally it should include some type of TCP/IP stack. There is the X-Surf 100. Can someone suggest alternatives?

Thank you.

Blah, my bad. Please point me to your site rules. I can't seem to find them. So I can post my price when selling an item but not present a price range when I'm looking to buy something?

There are at least a dozen Zorro II network cards that were made, only the X-Surf 100 can work in Zorro III mode and desires a 68020 or better for > 10 Mbit/s transfers. The other cards only handle 10 Mbit/s range. The Plipbox will handle < 30 Kbit/s.

So, how much speed do you need?

C'mon, the speed 'need' is always the highest possibly Is there is a fiber card for Amigas?

Ideally a 1Mb and faster link. A card with ethernet/RJ45/10BaseT. No coax or MUI connector.

Is it MUI? The old interface where you would then need a dongle to match your media?

Rules
"No price discussions
Discussion of prices on AmiBay is strictly prohibited. We realise this is quite unusual, but we've found it really works, read the section on price driving if you'd like to understand more."

When it comes to the Wanted section, it's best to simply put what you want and then discuss the price in PM's.

Just want to let You know about Zorro LAN IDE Card designed by Matze:

Matthias Heinrichs / Zorro-LAN-IDE · GitLab

A LAN/IDE solluntion with Clockport for the Amiga ZorroII/III Slot

gitlab.com

LAN part works nice with Miami, Genesis or Roadshow, (makes 3.5MB/s in Zorroll, & 6-7MB/s in Zorrolll mode)
IDE part uses Oktagon/Oktapussy Bootrom, so it can autoboot,
The clockport is compatible to A600/A1200 ones but resides at a different address

Have one card for sale, but I'm afraid shipping to US will be too expensive.. ??‍

Thanks for the lead. Do you consider the project to be stable? Has the card performed well?

Well, it took some time this card was debugged, now i can say - it performs very well, it got a combo Firmware for Zorroll/Zorrolll, so it can be installed in A2000 or A3k/A4k now without need to reprogram it.

Have two cards, one is installed in my pimped A2000 together with "Dicke Olga" 128mb accelerator and Delfina Audio card. Im listening internet radio usually on that machine. Other one is plugged in my A4000, that one isn't used much..?

 

[RetroNinja]

The project is missing a BOM/parts list. Do you have a copy of that or did you buy the card already built?

 

[8 Bit Dreams]

You can extract Partlist from Eagle,

Also be warned thast ENC Chips from chinese suppliers will possibly not work,
have bought some on Aliexpress and eBay - these doesn't seem to work - have no MAC address programmed,
seems these was stolen from factory before final step was done...
