This makes the card suitable for both Zorro II and Zorro III Amiga systems.Features* Zorro II / Zorro III compatible
* Combined Z2/Z3 firmware installed
* Automatic Zorro II/Zorro III detection
* 10/100 Ethernet using the Microchip ENC624J600 Ethernet controller
* RJ45 Ethernet connection
* AT-BUS compatible IDE controller
* IDE interface for hard drives, CompactFlash, DOMs, etc.
* Clockport interface for compatible expansions
* Fully AutoConfig capable
* SANA-II compatible Ethernet interface
* Compatible with large Amiga systems such as:
* Amiga 2000
* Amiga 3000
* Amiga 4000
* Other Amiga systems equipped with a Zorro interfaceThe project documentation states that the Ethernet interface can achieve approximately 3.5 MB/s raw transfer rates under Zorro II and 6–7 MB/s under Zorro III, with actual TCP/IP performance depending on the Amiga’s CPU and networking software. (GitLab)Firmware & DriverThe CPLD has already been programmed with the combined Zorro II/Zorro III firmware, so the buyer does not need to program the card before installation.The current project repository also includes the SANA-II Ethernet driver, with version 2.9 listed in the repository. For 68020 and faster Amigas, the project recommends the enc624j6net.device driver. (GitLab)IDE InterfaceThe built-in IDE controller is designed to work with Amiga systems from Kickstart 1.3 through 3.1.4, according to the project documentation. (GitLab)This makes the card especially useful for adding modern storage such as CompactFlash cards, IDE-to-SD adapters, DOMs, or conventional IDE drives to a vintage Amiga.Great for* Amiga networking
* Internet access on a vintage Amiga
* FTP/file transfers
* Web browsing with compatible Amiga software
* Networked Amiga systems
* CompactFlash/IDE storage
* Modernizing an Amiga without sacrificing the original Zorro architectureConditionNewly assembled / tested board.The card has been programmed with the combined Zorro II/Zorro III firmware and tested for proper operation.Please review the photos carefully for the exact board and components included with this listing.Open-Source ProjectThis hardware is based on the Zorro-LAN-IDE open-source hobbyist project:Zorro-LAN-IDE GitLab ProjectThe original project documentation identifies this as a hobbyist project and provides the PCB, firmware, and driver sources under the project’s licensing terms.
