Get a Deneb and use a USB/Ethernet dongle and install OS3.9 so you can set up Genesis.  Then track down the latest iBrowse (rather than AWeb), get a keyfile off the net (because you can't buy/register it any more) and you should be OK with a nice RTG display.

Indeed! And a copy of a TCP/IP stack, such as MiamiDX (powerful and pretty easy to use, but not the fastest, and uses more memory than other stacks). You can probably get MiamiDX from the EAB file server (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=43633). Note that you do not need an EAB account to use the file server.

In case you're worried about piracy: MiamiDX is not sold anymore, so you can't buy it anymore, unless you buy it second hand, in which case the people who made it won't benefit anyway. Bit of a shame really, MiamiDx is certainly worth some money.

In case it helps, there is a site for "legal" Amiga keys for software that has been abandoned, I assume.

The dude mentions Miami there, not sure of the details, though, you might want to check that out.
