Thanks for this, I wasn't aware of all the problems around Deneb.......read the tread and I am amazed - and a bit pissed off that I never ordered one when I saw it on Amigakit a couple of years ago.
Sadly, the cost of second hand Amiga 'tech' seems to go up in price with every day that passes, that in turn limits and turns the Amiga Community into an elitist group. I understand it in some ways, but in others *sigh* £1,000 ish for a Cyberstorm PPC card ?*sigh* outta my range totally! Could some clever chap design a modern PPC card for the A4000? Yes, R&D costs....production costs etc I bet out way the resell.
Anyway.......maybe instead of buying a Deneb and using USB for everything it would be better for a Mediator and use PC based PCI cards.....I guess (hopefully) it works out cheaper - PCI network, PCI USB controller, PCI sound card.......all work?.....anyway.......
What do I want to do with my A4000D?
I'm not sure - I wanna keep it retro - ish.....within my limited budget with some presents along the way and get it online.
OS3.1, Cyberstorm MK2 040 96MB FastRAM, Picasso IV and a 4GB CFF HDD. That is about the current spec.
