whats the Deneb USB card like in day to day use?

I've just managed to get myself an A4000/030 in very nice condition, and need an ethernet hookup for it.

i was looking at the price of an X-surf, but for the money, i could get a Deneb USB card and have more options open to me.

how do people find it in day to day use? particularly for networking with USB2lan adapters, and anyone use it with usb audio cards?
i only have a base A4000/030, with 16Mb ram, 3.1roms, and rev11 socketed buster. (40Gb drive, CDRW drive, 33Mhz FPU)
the only other zorro stuff in there is a lone kickflash, so hopefully no DMA issues...

just wondering if this is the way to go? anyone shine a light?  :-)

yup, its the basic A4000 desktop with the Commodore 25Mhz EC030 CPU card, but with an added 33Mhz fpu. :-) no scsi or zorro scsi. if i get a warpengine/cyberstorm2/3 will it be a problem then?

the only reason i'm asking really, is that i have a subway/usb2lan combo on my A500 with a 40Mhz 030, and as soon as the TCP/IP stack has activated the lan adapter, it slaughters the CPU. but i think thats a quirk of the subway/A500 clockport combo :-)

i just hope it doesn't go out of stock before i finish saving for it!  :lol:

what about other Z3 cards like graphics cards?

i think i'm pretty convinced to get one :-D
