"...Burn a 3.9 rom and remove the kickflash ..."
----------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, the only thing I know how to burn is a CD. How much would it cost to get those ROMS burned?

Ja, the network card will come first. But I am looking at all my options...

@X-Ray: IO cards have also been used for allowing connection of additional midi interfaces. Some sotware requires particular cards.

Burning ROMs should be cheap. I think Motorollin offered to do this before. Maybe send him a PM.

But X-surf from AmigaKit!

They offer Easynet which installs TCP and everything you will need to get your network card up and running.

HOWEVER!!!! It will not copy the driver x-surf.device to devs:networking. You have to copy the driver from the x-surf driver cd. And rename it to x-surf.device as it has a slightly different name.

I have been using this card for several weeks and it runs well. I have easynet auto start on startup.

NOTE::: Make sure to install easynet first!!!

I will probably get a X-Surf at some point but while I was looking at some specs on Individual Computers' website, I noticed that there is a large range of I/O devices for Amigas.

So...let's have it...what I/O cards do you have and what do you use them for? Any good and bad experiences?

I use an old, original version of the X-Surf card in an A2000, to a router/Cable internet. This card is great! The new ones must be better.

From what I read it was the Twister MKII that was the best serial port for Amiga. It was buffered and could do 960kbps if I remember correctly.

I still use a Whippet serial interface on the PCMCIA port of my A1200 and use the standard serial port for transferring the occasional digital photo.

I suppose serial ports are becoming less useful now due to the ethernet adaptors and broadband.

Turborpint has special support for Hypercom cards because they, unlike the Amiga parallel port, can check ink levels due to a different type of bi-directional standard.
