: Agreed.

	I've been wondering, especially in the case of the I-Card ...

	Supposedly, the reason you can't just use standard PCMCIA 
ethernet in A1200 is because no Ethernet cards available for PeeCee are 
close enough to PCMCIA spec to write a SANA2 driver for them. Ergo, the 
I-Card is closer to PCMCIA spec ... why can't IWorks write a PeeCee/Mac 
driver or whatever and mass-market the fucker?

	I assume this wouldn't apply to Ariadne or whatever, but hey ... 
hopefully Ethernet can be built in to future Amigas save a lot of 
heartache altogether ... or AmiTech can get in to Uni's ... :)
