Amiga 2000/030 upgrade path questions.

[mcostanza]

I am interested in upgrading my A2000/030 as much as possible to achieve two goals. The first is to get in on the network for web browsing. The second is to run AmigaOS 4.0.

The current configuration is below:

A2000 Rev 6.1 motherboard
OCS Chipset with fat Agnus
1 mb chip ram.
GVP 40Mhz 030 in CPU slot with 4 mb of fast ram
WB 3.1 roms.
GVP Spectrum graphics card.
One high density floppy drive.
One 880k floppy drive.
AmigaOS 3.5 installed.
Full version of Miami TCP.
2 Gb SCSI HD.

Items on the upgrade list so far:
Max out ram on GVP 030 card (16mb ?)
AmigaOS 4.0
SCSI Cdrom drive with CDFS software.
10BaseT network card (XSurf or CBM card).
MUI or MagicWB for browser support
Most compatable Amiga web browser ().

If anyone has any other items that should be on the list, please let me know. After the upgrade, I would like to use the Amiga 2000 for general email, IRC, web browsing and FTP etc..

At one time, I was looking to pick up a A4000 but would like to investigate upgrading the A2000 to achieve most of the functionality of an A4000. Since I already have the A2000 this makes the most sense.

Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.

Interesting. I was under the assumption that AmigaOS 4.0 was going to support the classic Amiga as well as the PPC based systems. My general assumption is from the fact that there are more 68XXX based Amigas (classic) than there are PPC based systems.

If this is the case then I guess AmigaOS 3.9 is the last release that will support classic Amigas's?
