Yes, it's a MIDI podule.
Would have preferred Ethernet with RJ45, but these ones are really hard to get:
But still better than nothing, as it expands the Archie's rear connectors.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
The podules are considerably shorter than for the A5000 that's for sure. Still not got my NIC working, talking to CJE about possible solutions, but mine had to use an AUI adapter for RJ45, so another link in the chain that could fail.
I certainly agree with how hard it is to get hold of the Ethernet podules.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
Fingers crossed, though if I can't get it going I'm sure I will be able to sell it pretty easy as they are so hard to find.HigashiJun wrote: 01 Nov 2023 22:29I'm sure you will find out what's going wrong.rubber_jonnie wrote: 01 Nov 2023 20:44 Still not got my NIC working, talking to CJE about possible solutions, but mine had to use an AUI adapter for RJ45, so another link in the chain that could fail.

Yes, and your purchase will be completely refunded as well.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
I was thinking about buying it, but the RJ45 version from ANT is definitely better.
