hi all any body an idea if pcmcia is agood way to ad ramm to my A600 as trapdoor cards are almost extinct
-
Yes.
-
what do you suggest
-
As much as it can take - 4MB isn't it?
-
PCMCIA SRAM cards are available on eBay.
They'll add up to 4mb of Fast ram to your 600.
I got lucky and scored one for $20 USD last week, but they seem to go for more than that usually.
-
IIRC PCMCIA RAM slows down the system...?
What are your experiences?
-
According to the not-100%-reliable SysInfo, with 4MB of PCMCIA RAM, my A600 system is actually a bit faster.
It's probably A1200s that are slowed.
-
I think that's in reference to the A1200. The PCMCIA is a 16-bit interface, the A1200 wants a 32-bit data path.
