Does it have an RJ45 connector?
     

Most likely not and one would not be available.  The amiga was
originally based around a 7.14Hz processor to accommodate video
applications (ever hear of the VideoToaster, it started the video
revolution in computers).
   

My first software package ever was DeluxePaint 1.  Used Toaster and
LightWave many moons ago.   I have lots of old floppies with IFF & HAM
images that I want to get over to my Mac.  It's been many years since using
an Amiga, but I remember those days well.  Do you know of anyway to FTP
between the Amiga and the Mac?
 

The 4000 is a Motorolla 68040 at 40Mhz.
You could get an EMPLANT card that had scsi and ROM emulation to
emulate any pre-PPC macintosh.  Its OS is more *nix based than
windows or mac preX, so if you are familiar with *nix or osX, then go
for it!

Well if you are 'core then you could build yourself a parnet cable and 
hook it to the Amiga and to a Peecee.  Once you get stuff over from the 
Amiga to the PeeCee then it would be a snap to get it to the Mac.  That 
is the cheapest way, since DOS boxes are a dime a dozen and a fast 486 
would be more than adequate on the peecee side.

If you have more money you could get an ethernet card for the 
Amiga-there are PCMCIA ones for A600 and 1200, Zorro slot cards for big 
box Amigas.  Then its just running Amiftp and being happy :-)  That's 
the good guy way of doing it..

What type of Amiga do you have, and is it still working?  I have an 
A2000 atm, but haven't turned it on yet to see if it works.  Maybe I 
could get it going and transfer some stuff..
