Deneb 2.0 vs. Subway USB
« on: February 08, 2009, 06:02:22 PM »
I just secured an X-Surf card and was wondering if, as a cheaper alternative to Deneb, I would be happy with a Subway clockport module. Features look the same (Actually, the Subway comes with 4 USB ports vs. 2 on the Deneb) except for the 'highspeed' function of the card. Specifically, I'd like to use the USB ports for my printer, external HD's, DVD/CDRW and maybe a sound card.

Would it be wiser to invest in the Deneb for these uses or will I not notice much, if any difference between highspeed mode or not?

Thanks all. Seems for the $40 difference, getting a Deneb is a no brainer then. Throwing the updated Kickstart files into that flash rom thingy sounds very cool. I wonder if it comes with the proper documentation to do so?

With the 2060 I just installed though, bootup is pretty darn quick as it is  :-)

I got a sense from the other post that only the Boing Bag "kickstart" updates/patches were loaded into that flash deal. Am I wrong in assuming that?
