I'd strongly recommend the GoldenGate II Bus+, which on my system works
like a dream with a cheap ne2000-compatible PC ethernet card, the two
cards having cost a total of 160ukp, which isn't bad at all. Of course,
you end up using two card slots, and (and not many people know this) if
you have an EC030 (the processor found in an A4000/030) you have to turn
CPU caching off; but these two seem to me a small price to pay...

darien : a4000/030 + picasso-ii x 10Mb / gg2 bus+ = satan.trin.cam.ac.uk
