Perhaps some news to Commodore for a change.
I just tested the ACORN RISC development board with a 3Com Ethernet
board on the Bridgecard side of the A2000 bus. It works flawlessly. The
Bridgecard acts as an I/O controller for the Ethernet and screen/keyboard.
This a very nice arrangement. The ACORN screems, and barely bothers the
Amiga side at all. As I mentioned previously, I also have NFS on the Amiga
side of the Bridgecard. I had to rape an IBM pc to try this out, since we
are still waiting for more ACORN boards (like mine). When I do get my board,
I will have two Ethernet hoses going into the A2000. I shudder to think what
I could with this! This is getting strange. Now I know why this is called
Janus. Now if I could just adapt Matt's shell to talk amiga/unix to the IBM...
