     Today I bought one of the last Deneb USB 2.0 adapters for Amigas with Zorro slots.  No more are to be made.  :(  This Deneb will go into my A4000 desktop.
    I also bought an EasyNet PCMCIA wireless card for the A1200 '060.  I intend to use that system at school and surprise the students.  "Mr. Bernardo, is that a Mac or a PC?"  "Neither."  ;)

     Yay!  I received my Deneb and EasyNet from FedEx on Friday.  Last night I read through the documentation, and I'm itching to install them in my A4000 and A1200 desktop, respectively.

     Before I left Europe, DiscreetFX had a Video Toaster sale for A4000s.  It was at a relatively low price, and I couldn't resist.  I paid for it on-line, and it came in a few days before the July 23-24 CommVEx.  The board was wrapped in bubble-wrap, with no installation disks.  (Fortunately, I have the installation disks.)  It was obviously used, because it had a fine layer of dust and a slightly chipped tooth on the edge connector.  So now, all I have to do is plug it into the A4000.

         If only I could have afforded the Toaster Flyer, too,
