Petrus HilariusIch hab' endlich die zweite A2060 Arcnet Karte für den Amiga gefunden. Vor über einem Jahr wollte ich die Dinger schon mal verkaufen aber ich konnte nur eine finden. Die zweite kam jetzt nach langer Suche aus meinem alten A4000. 🤣 Also wie damals schon: Wer will nochmal Amigas so richtig old-school vernetzen? #amiga #arcnet #retro #retronetworking
Pixel Purrito#TIL that there is an IETF standard that defines how to transmit IP packets (and therefore allowing TCP, UDP, and many other higher level protocols) over #ARCnet links: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc1201/
RFC 1201: Transmitting IP traffic over ARCNET networks
This memo defines a protocol for the transmission of IP and ARP packets over the ARCnet Local Area Network.This memo specifies a method of encapsulating Internet Protocol (IP) and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) datagrams for transmission across ARCNET using the "ARCNET Packet Header Definition Standard".

Reading about #ARCNet and it looks like the COM2002x chips are still produced and have an 8 or 16-bit interface, and run on 5V... This gives me Ideas™. Like, wouldn't it be period-correct making an ARCNet cartridge for #MSX and have it talk to an #Amiga through some coax cable?

John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺I might be able to find some old #ARCNET cards, cables, and hub for you.

used a token star topology rather than hashtag token ring. #Novell pretty much out marketed it with the #NE2000 nic. created by Datapoint/CTC. popular wiz, early micro, computers, and mini computers. Some are probably still in use today on factory floors for automation.
