Amiga 4000 ethernet advice
« on: May 29, 2010, 10:08:25 AM »
Hi

My Ariadne in my 4000 is starting to get a little flaky (works sometimes then not) so I've decided to replace her. I'm interested in buying a Deneb USB controller so that I can use USB->Ethernet dongles but I have a few questions:

1. I run OS3.9 and OS4.0 Classic on the 4000...is the Deneb supported by both?

2. Do only certain USB->Ethernet dongles work with the Deneb (I've got an SMC 10/100 gathering dust I'm hoping to use) under both OSes or do any work?

3. If I get the Deneb can I exclusively use a USB keyboard/mouse or do I have to revert to Amiga peripherals for bypassing the startup sequence / accessing CSPPC early config screen etc etc?

4. My other option is of course the XSurf but it looks a bit 'cobbled together' judging by the pictures...are these good reliable cards as it seems supported in both OSes

Thanks muchly
