(I know that FS-UAE is an option, but I would like to get this working with the bundled setup, E-UAE that I am aware has been derelict for some years.)
You might want to reconsider that position - FS-UAE is way better than E-UAE for both retro gaming purposes (saving current state as a snapshot, OpenGL rendered display...) and running a souped up AmigaOS (64 bit JIT, working TCP emulation...).
