Parnet-like software that networked up to four Amigas

[Jope]

Hi,

I remember as a kid we used parnet quite a bit. At some point someone in our computer club found a parnet-like solution that could network up to four Amigas together.

Does anyone remember what it was called?

Interestingly it was called Aminet and you could actually network up to 200 Amigas together.

There was also Amiga-Link, which used the floppy port. Our own @redblade was looking at reimplementing it: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=108806

Unfortunately this was not it. The controlling software had a user interface running on an intuition screen and I am 99% certain it was for the parallel port, not serial.

The setup had a four connector daisy chain cable (self built) where the two "middle" machines had two cables coming out of the connector shell.
