I was wondering: how many people have networked their Amigas?
I've had two Amigas during the 1990s (still have them now ) and nothing else back then. So I initially networked them together to get data from one to the other. Then I used my A1200 to connect to the internet for stuff like mail and the web until I decided I had waited for new Amigas long enough and got a PC in 2000.
Then, with much reduced Amiga use, until 2019 I mostly downloaded new software and stuff directly from the internet using IBrowse. In 2019 I got a NAS (network attached storage, a box with a bunch of harddrives that connects to your local network as a file server) and now it's super easy to exchange files between all my computers (Macs and Amigas) because they can all mount the NAS over SMB.
I still have a script to quickly download stuff directly from Aminet, though.
For big box Amigas, iComp makes the X-Surf 100, a Zorro Ethernet card that costs 140 euros.
But for the A1200 (and A600) you can get an old PCMCIA Ethernet or Wi-Fi* adapter, there are now drivers for many of those. So that's very cheap.
Another option is Plipbox, which is an Ethernet adapter for the parallel port for about $45. (Doesn't work on the A1000 or I think there may be a special A1000 version.)
* I have an old PCMCIA 11 Mbps Wi-Fi adapter. It works very well on open networks, but I couldn't get the modern WPA/WPA2 security to work with the Prism2 driver. It does work with WEP, but that's pretty insecure and isn't even supported by many modern Wi-Fi base stations anymore.
Anyway, interested to hear all of your networking experiences.
