 I'm interested in networking my 1200, through a 10BaseT connector - that I
have available in my room. I believe the I-Card has such a connector.

 Would you (or anybody else), please, *elaborate* on the specs of this
PCMCIA-
card...

  * - Speed and other operating specs. (look below for interesting data)
  * - Size (Does it extend very much from the A1200 casing)
  * - Availability in Europe (Sweden?)
      Import US -> SWE => $300 +4%(?) customs +25% "VAT" := $390
        (for a "credit card" sized thingy  8-* )
  * - Do you have student and/or quantity-discounts
