Got my Deneb...some questions

HI, I will try this out.  In the Deneb flashroom I can remove the PIO driver and just put the z2 one then? There is really no documentation on exactly what files you need in there.  But my Deneb came with 7 files in the flash...so I guess that is the minimum you need?

There is documentation. See Luciferin.guide. Luciferin will add all the files in your configuration using the menu item "Quick Setup/Poseidon".

Hi, yes, I found that, thanks.  It is useful but it requires an envarc: file to be present. I had to copy that over from a backup...but after that it worked and populated the list with all the poseidon stuff.

By the way, I want to get a USB sound card, do you know if this one would work?

Also, is it safe to attach a powered USB 4 port hub off one of the backplate usb ports so I can get more than 2 external usb ports?

Thanks

Well, that ENVARC:PsdStackloader file is saved by Trident.

About the soundcard: I had one of those here, it works, but it gets very hot.

Of course you can connect a powered USB hub. Most of them work fine. There are a few cheap ones without a diode which I would really discourage from using, because it means that the 5V would flow back into the Deneb and the Amiga, and that asks for harm.

Any other usb sound card you would recommend?

They also have this one:

The cheap blue one works nevertheless. I also have an Audigy 5.1 one, but it only supports the 48KHz rate and no other one (which sucks). I tried another 5.1 one a few years later and it had the very same chipset inside (though it had different features). With AHI you won't be able to use sample rates higher than 65KHz, but the 96KHz modes suggest that this uses a different chipset.
