Titolo: schede rete pcmcia su a1200

ho recuperato una scheda pcmcia di rete hamlet F1500, sul sito hamlet ci
sono info solo della hfe1500.
Trattasi di scheda 16bit a 10/00Mbit. siccome non ho il dongle e dovrei
quindi acquistarlo in rete, prima di farlo vorrei sapere se qualcuno di
voi l'ha mai provata su Amiga e con che driver, e se funziona. Non so
che chip usi, magari è una scheda 3Com rimarchiata.
grazie
Saluti

la infili in un portatile WIN e trovi il chipset investigando sul 
pannello delle risorse hw

ho chiesto direttamente alla Hamlet, si vede che c'hanno un cazzo da fare
perchè mi hanno risposto subito :)
il chipset è d-link DL10022
mi sa che non va su amiga

 Ah, il cavetto adattatore, dongle=chiave :-)
 
già, interessante la definizione che ne da il 
Computing Dictionary
dongle definition
hardware /dong'gl/ (From "dangle" - because it dangles off the computer?) 1. A
security or copy protection device for commercial microcomputer programs that
must be connected to an I/O port of the computer while the program is run.
Programs that use a dongle query the port at start-up and at programmed
intervals thereafter, and terminate if it does not respond with the expected
validation code. One common form consisted of a serialised EPROM and some
drivers in a D-25 connector shell. Dongles attempt to combat software theft by
ensuring that, while users can still make copies of the program (e.g. for
backup), they must buy one dongle for each simultaneous use of the program.
The idea was clever, but initially unpopular with users who disliked tying up
a port this way. By 1993 almost all dongles passed data through transparently
while monitoring for their particular magic codes (and combinations of status
lines) with minimal if any interference with devices further down the line.
This innovation was necessary to allow daisy-chained dongles for multiple
pieces of software. In 1998, dongles and other copy protection systems are
fairly uncommon for Microsoft Windows software but one engineer in a print and
CADD bureau reports that their Macintosh computers typically run seven
dongles: After Effects, Electric Image, two for Media 100, Ultimatte, Elastic
Reality and CADD. These dongles are made for the Mac's daisy-chainable ADB
port. The term is used, by extension, for any physical electronic key or
transferable ID required for a program to function. Common variations on this
theme have used the parallel port or even the joystick port or a dongle-disk.
An early 1992 advertisment from Rainbow Technologies (a manufacturer of
dongles) claimed that the word derived from "Don Gall", the alleged inventor
of the device. The company's receptionist however said that the story was a
myth invented for the ad. [Jargon File] (1998-12-13) 2. A small adaptor cable
that connects, e.g. a PCMCIA modem to a telephone socket or a PCMCIA network
card to an RJ45 network cable. (2002-09-29)
