Diamond USB Home Networking Product is now on the board. Diamond Multimedia Systems announced plans for a USB home networking product that enables PC and Macintosh computers to easily share resources across both platform families.

The new Diamond product provides for shared Internet access, peripheral sharing and networked multi-player gaming and includes an extensive software bundle. Featuring AMD’s PCnet-Home networking controller, the new Diamond home networking product uses existing home phonelines to link multiple PCs and is based upon the HomePNA (Home Phoneline Networking Alliance) network standard. The new product will be marketed as an extension to Diamond’s HomeFree home networking brand and will carry a retail price of less than $70.
