The X-Surf is the only current Zorro network card.

That's only partly ture. Miami is slower than Genesis when using SANA2
drivers, but the speed comes back if you use Miami's MNI drivers. The
problem for A1200 users is that there isn't an MNI driver for the CNet
cards, and Holger Kruse won't release the MNI specs for anyone else to
write one.
