ARIADNE NETWORK CARD

Ariadne is a modern Zorro-II Ethernet card for the Amiga models A2000, A3000 and A4000. It supports both Ethernet standards 10BASE-2 (Thin Ethernet) and also 10BASE-T (Twisted Pair). You can easily switch between these two hardware protocols via software. There are 32 Kbytes of buffer RAM on board and also an option for a boot EPROM.

Additionally, Ariadne offers two extra parallel ports to connect a printer, a scanner, or any other peripheral device. Beside a normal parallel driver we also supply two network drivers for these parallel ports : One ParNet driver and a SANA-II compatible PLIP driver, called liana.device. You can therefore install two peer-to-peer connections to smaller Amiga computers without any Zorro-II slots.

The network drivers for Ethernet and the parallel ports are both SANA-II compatible. Therefore every network software package based on SANA-II can be used with the Ariadne. For example, AmiTCP or Envoy which is included with the Ariadne. Envoy offers FileSystem import and export, network printing and multi-user support together with an easy installation and configuration procedure.
