   Hello Joacim!

 JM> Great feedback - thanks Ingo.  Gonna buy one for my A2000.

Well, I enjoy my X-Surf 100 as well, especially as it is faster than the Hydra,
 but when I would have an Ariadne inside of an A2000 I don't think I would
consider using an X-Surf 100, except for the reason of having the USB stuff
working as well.
OTOH I already have a broken Ariadne that looses it's MAC address for some
unknown reason.

So, in an A2000 you won't get much speed improvements over an Ariadne, because
of ZorroII bus. If you're looking for attaching USB stuff, than I would say: go
 for it!

It's not that you'll get full 100 Mbit/s in ZorroIII mode either. It will
silghtly faster than a 10 Mbit/s card, but it's new hardware, it has USB
connectivity and it supports one of the few still existing Amiga hardware
vendors. :-)

PS: last week I enjoyed a visit to Stockholm, mostly walking around Gamlastan.
Only bad thing was that we didn't had enough time to visit Hard Rock Cafe,
before we needed to get back onto our cruise ship. :-)
