Title: PCMCIA cards experience?
Post by: wa9yoz on November 21, 2007, 09:46:38 PM

Greetings y'all!...found a couple of PCMCIA cards in my parts box and wondering if they are compatible with the A-1200's pcmcia port?
One is an EPSON 2MB RAM pcmcia card..
another card is: SOHOware pcmcia 16bit ethernet pc card..
and the last one:
CompuCable USB2 CardBus pcmcia controller, has 2 usb connectors on the other end...
Wonder if anyone had experimented with any of these & if there are programs for it?....Tony....
Thanks A-Org!

What type exactly? I know there are NE2000 compatible cards from SOHOware, they might work with cnet.device (http://www.g-mb.de/cnet/index_e.html?).  You might just try that if you aren't sure. If you are lucky, you can network your Amiga with any TCP/IP stack around. The driver is excellent.

Definitely no. Cardbus doesn't work in the Amiga.
