Silversurfer is the alternative for the cost-conscious user if you want to expand
your Amiga with a serial interface. We did our best to reduce the price without having to
make any compromises in value and performance: The top baudrate is higher than most serial
accessories can handle, the software is simply one-hundred percent, and there are
numerous ways to connect the board to an Amiga.
As usual with individual Computer's products, you get a full ready-to-go package
without having to buy any additional cables or adapters like you have to with other vendors.
The shape of the Silversurfer is so smart that it didn't take long before the
first copy arose on the market. That's a nice honour, because it's a good sign
that there's no better way to do it!
Naturally, the Silversurfer cannot avoid every place in the computer. There's
a mechanical conflict with Mikronik and RBM Zorro-expansions that cannot be
resolved, but this is totally compensated by the Silversurfer supporting the
four clock-ports of the new Z4-board for the Amiga 1200. In fact, the Silversurfer
is the first card on the market to support these ports!
If you don't want to change your Zorro-board, you can operate the Silversurfer on the
clock-port of the Buddha Flash controller, and that fits into any Amiga with
Zorro-Slots.
Another advantage over competing products is the excellent drivers: Low CPU load
for uninterrupted multitasking and compatibility with all the software we know,
together with an unparalleled ease of installation make the Silversurfer first-choice
for anyone. No matter if you're using an A600 without accelerator or a fully
equiupped A4000 - Silversurfer will move your data securely.

Jens,
[...]
I'm using the Silversurfer on a Buddha controller in an A4000 and I'm very
satisfied with it. I don't get higher CPS rates, but I can work with the
machine while downloading without the machine totally breaking down because of
CPU load. The Buddha controller also works nicely: The 40-speed CD drive seems
faster to me than it was on the Tandem, and the error messages while reading
Audio data [...] disappeared. The system simply works better with your hardware.
