I used one,but eventually bought a SurfSquirrel-WHich I really like
because of the extra seriala port.

The A1291 worked fine, except Shapeshifter didn't like the Zip drive with
it. But I think I did get it stable . The Amiga side worked fime. SS  
would get erratic system lockups. Then again, I think I de-installed the
Zip drver, and just made a copy of the GUEST driver on my desktop. Then
whenever I wanted to use the Zip, I just clicked on the GUEST. Worked
fine.

Anyway, I thought the A1291 worked fine. But I sold it because I wanted 
tot have 2 serial ports( I bought a Calcomp drw tablet); and it's faster
and more stable than the A1200's. No disconnecting or crc errors when
dwlding and multitasking.

Hope this helps.
