Assuming they're 16-bit and you write the drivers, why not.

They are (all?) PCI style CardBus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMCIA#CardBus) cards that won't work in an Amiga and don't even fit into the slot. A600/1200 only support 16 bit cards (ISA style).

as Alexh said in the past many times, there is only one pcmcia usb chip that is 16bit (I hope I remember correctly), but no drivers exist... so no go...
