System requirements for 3.9?

Gotcha.

I'll look into the options. Im a bit hesitant to chop up the case too much

A "round" IDE cable should let you attach one end to a 4xIDE card and feed it out through the removeable plate on the back of the A1200.

I think the Deneb is slightly faster than the Subway, but I use my Subway for much the same purposes as you do. It's handy for transfering things between my iMac and Amiga or uploading mp3's to memory cards or mp3 players etc..

Isnt that easier and cheaper done by using a pcmcia compact flash card reader/writer?

They cost like 2 pounds and do the job perfectly on my a1200 and a600.

Ah, but a good 8GB memory stick is all you need for your Amiga/PC/Mac needs at home or at work and is harder to lose or break than carrying around a CF card or SD card.  Besides, the CF Card I keep in my A4000 is SFS formatted and that just comes up as bollocks on a PC.

Good point. Although personally im done spending money on my A1200 and after i sold its accelerator board i dont even use it anymore.

I do however use my A4000T nearly every day, so i may consider getting a Deneb or subway

Nah, not a fan of those things or compact flash cards. The USB lets you connect all sorts of thing like cameras, MP3 players etc...

And a cheap usb multicard reader/writer can be bought for less than a tenner. I want to keep the pcmcia slot for an internet card anyway.

There's no way I would use my A4000 without a Deneb now.  It also makes reinstalling a breeze as I keep all of my ZIP/LHA archives on memory sticks so if I need to reinstall from scratch I can do a base 3.1 install, install the Deneb drivers and then unpack files from the Memory stick to my hard drive.  Sure, I could keep a 2nd hard drive too, but file swapping is now so easy.  I also use it for that USB Ethernet card, a USB-IDE cable, USB PC 1.44 Floppy, a SD card reader (for my camera) and an external DVD+R/W.  I also need to check how well the HP USB printer drivers work (I haven't had time yet).
