I'm recently back - USB on the Amiga - What can I do with it?

[Nlandas]

Ok, So I'm picking up a used A4000 to replace my long boxed A1200 and I'm watching all the USB development on the Amiga.

If I buy a new USB Zorro card for my Amiga what driver support will I see?

Can I access 2-4GB flash drives. (If yes, could I boot OS 3.9 off them?)  / USB CDRW/Hard Drive support?
Can I use any USB RJ45 Network Dongles? (I have two - one by Linksys and the other by Netgear)
Keyboard and mouse?

Any others that I missed that are supported?

Thanks for the update, I'm glad to be back but really need an update on current hardware options.

I'd like to get the A4000 on the Internet with my Broadband supported LAN and it's be cool to skip digging up a small IDE/SCSI drive and just use a big Flash drive to boot.

Lastly, which isn't really a USB discussion what options are left for Scan Doublers so that I can connect my A4000 to my LCD monitors through my KVM instead of having to add space for my old Multiscan 15" monitor.

Thanks,

Long time Amigan since 1988, hoping to see a rebirth at some point.

Thanks Thomas,

    I really appreciate the information. The Deneb solves all of my problems except the scan doubler. It looks like it might support my USB NIC as well but I'd have to test it. Bottom line is, I can buy a USB NIC and that is a lot cheaper than a Zorro NIC.

Do you know if anyone ever make an AGA compatible video slot based Scan Doubler with flicker fixer?

HHEHEHEHE! Well since I know you won't part with it can you leave it to me in your Last Will and Testament? *Chuckle* Just in case. Just kidding.

Software hut lists the "DCE Internal Scan Magic - Scan Doubler w/ Flicker Fixer for A1200/A4000D" Will that work with a A4000/040 and AGA colors?

Thanks,
