Finally got my double podule set up working !

There was an intermittent bad contact on one pin, preventing the set up from working.
I will now have to fit my 2GB IDE Flash Memory, instead of the current CF card.

Interesting set of Apps you have there are you booting from disk now?
My NIC just shows up as a blank space in *podules as it doesn't have a rom :)

No, not yet.
I first want to finish a couple of things before booting from the HDD.
If I only could get my hands on a NIC with a RJ45...

That might be tricky...
If you can't there are always MAU adapters for AUI out there.

Yes, they are very very rare...
A MAU adapter would be a last chance alternative, but very grudgingly.

I did originally order a card for mine that had a normal connection, but then CJE came back to me and said we've sold out, hence why I ended up with the MAU hanging off the back. It was tough making it work, but worth it for sure.

I have finally bought a network adapter for the A3000:

This one has a BNC connector, but as I mentioned it in a previous post, it's still better than nothing.
Just hope to get it soon so I can start thinking how the heck I will fit it internally in my Archie (I have already a vague idea though). :lol:

Interesting, yours has a ROM on board, whereas mine doesn't. On the plus side you can still get BNC kit, so I'm sure you'll have it hooked up in no time.
