    IJ>    Hello Joacim!   
      
    IJ> 04 Oct 17 21:33, you wrote to me:   
      
    JM>> Great feedback - thanks Ingo.  Gonna buy one for my A2000.   
      
    IJ> Well, I enjoy my X-Surf 100 as well, especially as it is faster than   
    IJ> the Hydra, but when I would have an Ariadne inside of an A2000 I   
    IJ> don't think I would consider using an X-Surf 100, except for the   
    IJ> reason of having the USB stuff working as well.   
    IJ> OTOH I already have a broken Ariadne that looses it's MAC address for   
    IJ> some unknown reason.   
      
    IJ> So, in an A2000 you won't get much speed improvements over an   
    IJ> Ariadne, because of ZorroII bus. If you're looking for attaching USB   
    IJ> stuff, than I would say: go for it!   
      
    IJ> It's not that you'll get full 100 Mbit/s in ZorroIII mode either. It   
    IJ> will silghtly faster than a 10 Mbit/s card, but it's new hardware, it   
    IJ> has USB connectivity and it supports one of the few still existing   
    IJ> Amiga hardware vendors. :-)   
      
    IJ> PS: last week I enjoyed a visit to Stockholm, mostly walking around   
    IJ> Gamlastan. Only bad thing was that we didn't had enough time to visit   
    IJ> Hard Rock Cafe, before we needed to get back onto our cruise ship.   
      
   What can I use the USB port for?    
      
   Hard Rock Cafe... it's overrated. You didn't miss a thing.  :D
