QN3000+ .. believe me now?

OK, Info is from Amiga Magazin (Magna Media), Issue 12/94 (therefore I am not
sure if it still exists), page 148.

QN3000+, 32-Bit-Standard-Ethernet-Adaptor, IEEE802.3-Standard
 Fujitsu-Ethernet Chipset (Zorro III), Twisted Pair (WD), Cheapnet (BNC).
Systems: Amiga 3000/4000

QN=QuickNet btw.

This company also made a product similar to Envoy, also called QuickNet. The
QN hardware is compatible to Envoy and AmiTCP too.

There were also versions for A500, A1200 and A2000 (some of which included
some SIMM slots, so I guess they were internal).

If anyone finds this thing still exists, please tell me, as I will be needing
an ethernet card sometime this summer.
