Two I/O cards - which is better?

[McVenco]

I'm rebuilding and re-installing my A4000T, and on a few parts I'm wondering which one to use. One of those parts is the I/O card. Right now, there is an IOBlix card installed, but I've also got a MultifaceIII card lying around.

My question: which card is the best in terms of speed, easy to use drivers etc? I will use the card to connect a printer, a ZIP-drive (I also have a SCSI ZIP drive, but that one will be used on my A3000), and a modem.

Any ideas, anyone?

I have several IO cards.
A hypercom 3 and a hypercom4 and a Vario.
All worked well.
Now with OS4 I am using the VArio to print(parallel port).
It is about twice as fast as the hypercoms were.
Maybe OS4??
And it also has a clockport on it..nice card.
But any io card will perfom better then the standard parallel port me think.
I would go for smallest io card more cooling.

I have an IOBlix and I love it. A long time ago I had my old Epson 600 hooked up to it and it was very fast.
Now its just used for downloading from a digi camera and hooking up to a modem for faxing. I got 115K with no problem over the serial ports.
I also have the add-on ethernet card which works great!

It even comes with a Zip mounting task. (Although I only have an SCSI one so am not sure what its actually for but it comes with a dos driver for a Zip drive)

As for the multiface, I hear its a good card but never used one myself, although Ive used other serial cards and tbh they are all easy to use and Ive not had any problems with any Ive had.

That ethernet card is a cool solution, surely adds some I/O to the name :-). Unfortunately, mine hasn't got 2.0 firmware so I probably can't use one of those (if I can even find one, that is).
But I've got an X-Surf, so no need for that.

I guess if there isn't much difference, I'll just keep the IOBlix in my 4000T, and get rid of the Multiface3.
Or build the Multiface in another Amiga and connect them via a serial network (I presume that's possible?).
