Are there any Ethernet controllers out for the ST? I've wondering if it will be possible to port the Ethernet control (Amoeba) to MINIX-ST and cross mount a sun's hard disk to MINIX's filesystem? bernie Bernard Bediako --------=-=-=-=-=-> ugbernie@cs.buffalo.edu "Sorry Love, just come to check the meter!"

(The 520s and 1040s communicate thru the DMA port, while the Mega uses the internal bus.) For further info: FutureDOS R&D 1207-120 Torresdale Ave North York, Ontario M2R 3N7 (416) 736-0321 The price of the boards is expected to be in the $1K-$2K range.
