Hrm... Weird Amiga Idea...

I've also got an Amiga 4000T, and I just had a *weird* thought (and coming 
from someone who knows almost nothing about Amigas, that could be a *bad* 
thing...)

It looks like there's 1 slot on the 4000T motherboard that might be an ISA 
slot - is it? If so, will a plain-jane NE2000 compatible network card work 
on the thing? (I would think there's drivers for something like that... but 
who knows at this point.)

Here's the *even* weirder idea: I have access to an ISA-based PCMCIA kit, 
which gives you to front-accessible PCMCIA slots. Are there Amiga drivers 
for any PCMCIA ethernet kit? (I'm also thinking of using it to access 
Compact Flash drives... ;-)

IIRC, I have AmigaOS 3.5 on the thing. I looked it up quite a while ago, 
but as the box has very little on it WRT software & whatnot, no way to back 
it up (beyond floppy, and I ain't doin' that), and no easy way (other than 
burning CDs) to get stuff on it, I've not really been "motivated" enough to 
diddle with it as of yet.

Anyway, just an odd thought...

Laterz,
