Isn´t Rapidroad USB much faster and still for sale as new?

RapidRoad requires an X-Surf 100 to be used in big box systems.  Maybe not everyone likes that solution?  Maybe because Deneb has the FlashROM?  I dunno, just hypothesizing.  I'd never looked at a picture of a Deneb up-close before.  I like those jumpers "don't play".  :lol:

How does Thylacine compare to Deneb or RapidRoad? I have one for my A3k but am yet to install it.

This is only one person's experience, but I had the "original" Thylacine (one of the single-port models, from the production run by genny_flick on Amibay before he started making the four-port models), and it was dog-slow on my A2000.  Plugging in almost anything would grind the system to a halt.  After some research, most of what I found said the Thylacine only works well on a Z3-bus computer (A3k or A4k).  For your A3k it should be fine, for example.

I sold that and switched to an X-Surf 100/RapidRoad combo when they became available, and haven't looked back.  I have successfully used, mice, keyboards, flash drives, external hard drives (including NTFS), plugged in digital cameras...  I even plugged in my phone and the Amiga recognized it, LOL.  No issues, much better hardware IMHO and in my particular system.

*disclaimer - your mileage may vary.  ;)

I fail to see why it would warrant such a high price over an X-Surf 100 with RR USB add-on.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but just wanted to point out that the retail price of an X-Surf 100 + RapidRoad is still over €200 right now.  The superior option, in my book, but I get that some people might feel different.  ;)
