You need a bridgeboard CPU card in the Amiga to work with ISA cards ( I
don't think that there is DMA available to the ISA cards either).
There is a utility that allows the Amiga side to use a NE2000 compatible
network card on the ISA bus as long as you have a bridgeboard setup and
running, but I have yet to try it on my A2000 (cheap ISA card with jumpers
is installed just have not got around to testing it).
I mostly use Amiga Explorer 5.0 (newer versions still being sold in the
Amiga Forever package) to send and receive files from my PC server and A2000
at 19,200 BPS serial speeds.
I've also got an Amiga 4000T, and I just had
a *weird* thought (and
coming from someone who knows almost nothing about Amigas, that could
be a *bad* thing...)
Sorry- the ISA slot is just powered, it's not got signals.
