Amazingly enough, a management-type guy came to me today and asked what
sort of computer I would like on my desk, since we are getting away from
the mainframe world. He started talking Mac II and PeeCee, I naturally
suggested Amiga 2000 w bridgecard. Even more amazingly, he said `Hey
sounds kinda neat'. Since we have a few Mac II's and a lazerwriter here
talking via appletalk, the question came up
"Can the Amiga 2000 speak appletalk?"
I naturally replied `HellifIknow'. THerefore I pose the question to the
net: Can the Amiga be networked into an Appletalk network? I seem to
remember hearing that there are TCP/IP boards for the Amiga. Is there a
way to bridge from a TCP/IP net to appletalk? In general, what sort of
ethernet (or IEEE 802.3) connectivity (hardware, software) is available
for the Amiga? Please EMail replies, if you develop this sort of
hardware I would appreciate some info. Maybe we will buy some Amys and
stuff...
Thanks,

when the local dealer came back from ... er ... COMDEX (?) (That show
in Atlanta last spring) ... he was talking about TOPS boards being
available for Amiga's (Real Soon Now back then probably means that
it's on the shelves right now, but is still version 1)
TOPS interface means appletalk ... at least that is what my memory
is telling me. I'm sure that if I'm wrong a thousand people will
all jump up and down and say so -- hopefully *they*'ll be right!
