Several. Have had troubles with the coax net though,
and haven't fired them up in awhile. Wouldn't mind finding
compatible replacements for my A2065 network cards which
understand CAT5 wiring. :-) (These things have a BNC and
an AUI drop. They're that ancient.)
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/ gives me some hope; there's some
Zorro II cards out there with 10BaseT capability. Of course,
there's the little issue of my A3000 having 6 BogoMIPS.
