Malcolm, OK, here's the info on the PCMCIA Ethernet Card: The company name is D-Link, and the PCMCIA Ethernet card is a DE-650. It draws power from the PCMCIA slot, and, since it appears to be targeted at notebook computers, I'd guess that power consumption would be appropriately low. Couplers for Thin Ethernet and Twisted-Pair are available. Model information: DE-650 – PCMCIA Ethernet Card DE-651 – PCMCIA Ethernet 10 Base 2 media coupler DE-653 – PCMCIA Ethernet 10 BaseT media coupler DE-650C – PCMCIA Ethernet w/10 Base 2 media coupler DE-650T – PCMCIA Ethernet w/10 BaseT media coupler Company information: D-Link 5 Musick Irvine, CA 92718 714-455-1688 714-455-2521 (FAX) 800-326-1688 in U.K. – (081) 203-9900 in Germany – (49) 6196-643011 I'd appreciate hearing what you find out re: price & availability. btw – This info is from a PC Products Supplement to the November 15, 1992 issue of "DATAMATION" magazine. Across the page, there's a short blurb entitled "Amiga Goes Multimedia". It's about the A3000T/040, and says, among other things, "The vendor rates the Amiga 3000T's Motorola 68040 processor – which has an integrated math coprocessor – at 20 million Customer Information Control System (CISC) instructions per second." (I'm not kidding!) David
