How is it that you have PCMCIA ports on an A4000?
I have an IDE-to-CF adapter, but I didn't know you could add PCMCIA ports to an Amiga that didn't already have them :)

Using a scsi-pcmcia bridge (the MPL McDisk-E).
It provides 2 PCMCIA ports, allowing memory cards, compact flash, etc to be read (using a PCMCIA adapter), and claims to allow access to PCMCIA I/O cards too (although, since no Amiga drivers exist as yet, this is purely theoretical).
Works fine with memory cards though :-)

Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

I have (somewhere) also a pcmcia box with a scsi interface, but I didn't know it would work on an Amiga. And I don't remember the brand. Where did you get the driver?

No driver required for this, the memory card is seen as a hard disk under hdtoolbox.
SCSI ID is set using jumpers on the board, and the unit uses standard scsi command set, so no drivers required.
