on an A4000 how can I add Ethernet? I know I could get a PCMCIA card for the A1200

Deneb + USB Ethernet dongle or Ariadne2 or X-Surf

Dont wish to rain on your parade but l was in same postion as you
l always had amiga 1200s in the day amiga was going strong and 4000 looked
sooo good from that point esp in late 90s . but you got step learning curve when going
in l found l knew nothing of the 4000 to extent didnt know you had to have a cpu module
Mind you l had build mine from parts as at the time . choudint find any here in new zealand
when did get all parts including case from other parts world, one turns aghhh
always the way , the one l brought second broke down in first 30 mins use
Battery damage so always take it out befior u switch on when u get home
if there even sligist look of acid on mb , l rekon if you got money go for it
they are nice but if you doing on budget and want internet connected to as your only
amiga i rekon 1200 still better way cheaper (graphics cards abd network boards are expensive and in some case hard to find well network are avaible new so thats bonus
if your got going not buy accerator board you got probs with adding ram right kind
mine l salvaged psu out second one to get parts special finished so was okay
but since then hyad opssie moment and both need repairing
wheres with 1200s l had opssie moments and even been fine there bit delciate
treat then that way and your be fine

So the Cyberstorm replaces the A4000 CPU card? It comes with a CD-ROM Drive, what are the chances of SCSI? And before turning it on check the motherboard and remove the battery and plan for a replacement?
I've asked the question if the original CPU card still comes with it, just need to arrange collection now ;) I hope the seller agrees to Saturday morning or I can't pick it up for another two weeks!

No SCSI - Original CPU, No sign of corrosion
