Hi.
Im hoping someone can either direct me to, or sell (or give!!) me a
couple of expansion cards...
Im looking for a network card which MUST have a user port on it for an
A3010. Im not too sure if such a thing exists, but if it does, Im sure
someone on here knows where to get one!
Also, Im looking for an expansion card of any kind for an A7000 which
has a user port. I dont care what it is, all I want to use it for is
the user port.
If anyones interested, the reason for this request is that I have a
control box which connects to an Acorn machine via the parallel and
user ports. I currently have an expansion card with a user port on the
A3010, but running the software from floppy disc is slow, and Id rather
run it on my A7000 and get rid of the A3010. Alternatively, if I cant
find a card for the A7000, Id like to run the box connected to the
A3010, and run the software from the A7000 hard drive over a network
cable. Not too sure if this option will work, but Im sure I can beat it
with a hammer til it does!
Im more than happy to pay postage within the UK, and im open to any
cost within reason. Obviously the best cost is FREE tho! Especially for
a poor skivvy student like me. So if someone wants to take pity.... :-)
Anyone can get hold of me at the following emails:
***@hotmail.com
***@coventry.ac.uk
I would suggest sending any message to both emails since the second one
will change soon.
Many thanks
