| I watched your video and I would like to compliment you on your effort. Succinct and easy to follow. Good job. This will probably help a lot of new owners of V4s.

| Yes great video .. thanks .. lots of details about setting up Amigas I had forgotten.. Would be nice if you could add alternates for Roadshow, eg Miami etc..

| I assumed that Roadshow was/is the most robust and fastest solution, but I don't have experience with Miami TCP/IP stack and will check it out! Do you know differences between Miami and Roadshow (besides Roadshow being commercial product)? And which one would you prefer and why?

| Well miamidx is free .. and for folks like me who dont plan on doing heavy duty networking stuff (but say maybe light ftp/smb to move files to/from the vampire, not browsing the web on my Amiga ) it is more than acceptable, though I do have to say iBrowse worked fine on my V2 500 with MiamiDX.. Roadshow is an active commercial product and requires a paid license to use .. sure its actively supported/potentially faster but that's not always a good reason when existing (and free) solutions may be sufficient. I had MiamiDX working on my vampire v2 500 but I am not sure how one would configure it for the V4SA (I presume its the same basic steps but the device referenced is different).. Anyway its always good to have alternatives..

| Hi Eric, Thank you for the elaborate reply. I will checkout MiamiDX, I see no reason it should not work on V4. Personally I don't mind spending 25 euro to a company that is actively developing software for AmigaOS as this will be the only sustainable model. Nothing is for free except air ;-). I am currently comparing all kinds of V4 network setups for stability and performance and hope to "publish" my results in a few weeks.

| I'm curious myself, I thought roadshow seemed noticeable faster than MiamiDX, but wasn't sure if that was consumer bias as I did drop some money on it.
