Ethernet interface
- AMD Am7990 or Am79C90 Ethernet controller chip
- 32 kB buffer
- 10Base2 (BNC) and 10Base5 (AUI) connectors
- socket for optional boot EPROM
- A2065 emulation mode - selectable by jumper

- the 79C90 IC may cause compatibilty problems, it is advisable replace it with a 7990, which is also on the A2065
- the native mode uses a slightly different memory layout which allows an additional ROM on the board (though there is no empty socket for it)
- SANA II compatible
- slightly faster than the Commodore A2065
- the BNC port is sometimes unreliable, the card works best with the AUI port
