It also is less of a CPU-hog since the PC handles all the TCP/IP stuff, much the same way Windows does for WinUAE.
interesting solution, but for transfering .adf images, pcmcia ethernet seems logical choice.
(and with serial, zmodem would have less overhead than tcpip.)
because, now its relatively easy/cheap to expand A600 fast RAM with that A608 thingy.
