I tried 3 days ago the Deneb that arrived for my A4000D and the only thing I can say is that I'm so fascinated of this outstanding product!
A big thanks to E3B and Chris.
I already flashed (except Poseidon) OS3.9 BB2's upgrade plus AfA_OS's Morelibspace and now OS 3.9 Boots in no time without the 2xRestarts that were required in the past! Plus the declaration of 3.9Upgrade+Morelibspace is done as 3.x only so no messing around in OS4.0 or MorphOS for PowerUP :)
My only problem was when I installed Delfina on my Xsurf3C.
Although I upgraded the drivers to the last (April's) version of Jen's drivers for Delfina, I keep having locks/freezes in boot up occationaly (Just when WB is about to show after the Cybergraphx Logo) :(
Delfina is installed on Clockport0 of the Xsurf and it's surely connected correctly because it's prefs and some config utilities identify her (plus the connection was done based on Jen's Photos). If I remove Delfina everything starts ok but ofc the Delfina utilities & prefs don't start saying something about "Can't open Delfina.library" which I guess it's pretty normal.
I wanted to try to connect it instead in Deneb's Clockport to see if the same lock/freezes occur. (I really wanna know if it's a problematic Delfina, something wrong's with my system or dunno what else :S). Xsurf works just fine as a Network card though.
Ok my questions are two:
1. What is the correct way of connecting the Delfina to Deneb's Clockport? Manual of Deneb haven't identified which is pin 1 in order to be sure. Maybe Pin1 is to the left side since there is a mark "20" to the right side of the clockport (next to E3B logo on the PCB). Just want to be sure before I connect my Delfina anaware and blast her to oblivion :D
2. Will there be any problem while loading DenebClockport module into Flash while having an original Xsurf Board inside my miggy? Any conflict? (Since if I understood correctly of a Chris last comment - By default it emulates Xsurf's clockport)
Thanks in advance... :P

The same question. I bought Delfina for my Deneb, but how should I connect it?

1. Guys, guys. Why don't you read this first?
http://www.e3b.de/usb/main_mounting_e.html
There's no pin 1 on original clockport, that's why there's no marking on Deneb. Original clockport in A1200 starts with pin 20. Nevermind it, just read the above link.
2. I do not expect any problems here, but you need to specify additional paramater to DenebClockport program. DenebClockport can emulate some other Zorro cards with clockport. You can't use emulation of X-Surf if you already have real X-Surf! Try with others that are supported by Delfina. Though I'm not sure how one should specify emulation of other card when using DenebClockport as Flash module...

I know the Kickflash's clockport has a control register, and I don't think it's implemented by the emulator. (Chris may have fixed that by now, though.) So, try one of the others first.

I have installed Delfina on Deneb, but when I load DenebClockport (under already loaded Workbench) Delfina doesn't work... When I change prefs in AHI or try to run one of Deneb's software nothing hapends (soft didn't start), and AHI is freezed. When I try run Showconfig or WhichAmiga freeze as well. Whitout Startup-Sequence, after activation DenebClockport the same. Should I change something in hardware, jumpers on Deneb?
