Anyone using an Ethernec?

[Curt Vendel]

Just curious if anyone is using the Ethernec network interface that plugs into any ST cartridge port and if so, how well is it working and such.

 

I currenly have my ST setup with a null modem serial line to my PC for transferring to/from and of course its painfully slow, and since my whole office is networked, it would be easier to use the ST via TCP/IP and I've got stacks of NE2000's so I am just wondering what experiences people have had with the hw and sw combo???

I am using ethernec on both TT and Falcon. Both machines has access to internet via cable tv. It is much faster than serial line. Speed is around 200 KB/sec on LAN. I am using drivers for MiNT. I have not experience with STiK but think that it worth to build it.

Are these ethernec cards still available? If so, where can I get one.

I got a network card for my MegaST2 a few years back. I didnt get much luck nor support getting it to work well. I was able to 'ftp' content from my ST to my windows PC which was my main goal to backup my ST information.

 

I had no luck with browser or drive sharing.

 

Id love to bring this back out if someone could help me getting it work better.

 

It was a NU2000 network card that plugged into the cart port.
