I have this friend who makes a product that uses a network of IBM clone
machines. He would like to start adding Amigas to the setup, for reasons
we all know well (eventually, use Amigas exclusively, but first a gradual
introduction).
Problem is that the network hardware is for PClones, and the software is
also for PClones (though some of it, at least, will have to be ported).
The A2000 has the bridgeboard, so it seems like it should be possible to
access the network card and maybe run the PC code with minor modifications
on the bridge card.
My question is, what sort of interface is provided for the Amiga to get
at hardware on the PC bus and communicate with software running on the
bridge card (from C on the Amiga)? Is there detailed documentation
available on this? How do I get it? Can I do this at all?
Thanks, as always, for your time.
