As I have a GVP 030 in my A2000, it looks like I won’t be getting one of these. -andy
Mine is an Amiga 2500 and came with a 68020 or something I think. So it wouldn't work for me either. iComp.de has Zorro slot ethernet boards as do others. The software stack just seems so messy I haven't thought about going there yet. I'm not an OG Amiga user. I was an Atari 8bit/DOS dude and still don't understand some of the low level workings of the drivers and extensions and stuff on the Amigas. I have some laser show hardware and software and the software says the hardware isn't found, never been able to figure that one out either. - EThan

And with this reminder, I just bought myself a GuruNet board for my Amiga. ? The only problem I'll have is that I'll need to switch out my DCTV to free up the parallel port for the GuruNet. ?
Just looked up that board.
I wish it had something like an ESP8266 and could do the TCP/IP offloaded versus requiring the Amiga TCP/IP stacks. Then you could have a program on the Amiga side that is much lighter in weight that could maybe mount a TNFS server or Windows CIFS server. Something like the FujiNet adapter that exists for the Atari 8bit computers. At least for me, just having remote filesystem over network would be a huge jump in capabilities.
