Title: Comprehensive A600/A1200 PCMCIA card compatibility list?
Post by: unknown1 on December 16, 2007, 02:50:19 AM
Is there a Comprehensive A600/A1200 PCMCIA card compatibility list somewhere?

I suppose most 16bit cards will work if the proper drivers are available.

Which Network card should I use? or is there another way besides PCMCIA to do ethernet? Would a USB 1.1 PCMCIA card work?

 Yes! For ethernet cards, go for last up-to-date cnet.device (available in Aminet) or a 3Com etherlink.

 Other types of cards you'll find in "The Big Book of Amiga Hardware" (http://amigahardware.mariomisic.de/index_e.html).

 The very problem are the drivers (not a single person write them anymore)...:-(

 There a small quantity of hardware to use to USB (1.1 or 2.0), but the developer of the USB stack ceased the support for classic Amigas. Sigh...
