There's actual quite a number of them (like [0]) around. They can be large, but considering you can go from parallel to modern ethernet _and_ you have a choice of adapter, it's not really as big a problem as you might be foreseeing.

- tialaramex 6y agoUm. Did you mean to link something else entirely? That's a Plipbox. One side of it speaks 10baseT (or maybe 100baseT, it doesn't really matter) and the other is a literal Centronics-style parallel port, not Ethernet at all. The idea is, your Amiga can do PLIP (IP over the Parallel port) and this box turns that into Ethernet traffic which you can drop into any network with IP. But if you've got some 10base5 or earlier Ethernet, this does not help you at all.
