When you get your Deneb you'll be able to use it's Flash memory to store KS3.1 and then install WB3.9 BB2 + unofficial BB4

Nothing special about Amigakit's USB ethernet dongles other than the price.

You can get off eBay an IDE->CF adapter for A4000 for under £5. No drivers required. Install anything you like to the CF card on your PC (via a USB card reader & WinUAE) and transfer it over to the Amiga.

If you're smart, partition your CF card into two. Amiga FFS and PC Fat32 and get native file access on both using ADFView on PC and Fat95 on Amiga

Assuming he doesn't want the Deneb for USB then yeah do that.

You'll have an extra automatic soft reboot during a power-on reset and loose 512Kbytes of Fast RAM

Both of which you probably had anyhow if you had MAPROM set.
