Just tried doing a search for you and came across this (http://www.near-mint.az-tech-e.com/auc31/asp/catalog.asp?catid=8936&show=closed)- weird eh? Didn't know this site existed - perhaps its not up and running yet or something....

hmm you'll be lucky mate, those things are bloody hard to get hold of. I might be getting hold of one soon for sale... dont know yet though....

Oh and also although PowerC are advertising they sell them, I doubt they will have any in stock, they didnt when I asked, I was told no one stocks them anymore...

It looks like 20 quid's the going rate in any case

hmm i dont really want to hack the motherboard or pmcia slot, or cut holes in the case (tried that - looked awful).

Oh well, if anyones got one let me know.

Cheers lads

Isn't it easy to solder a flatcable to PCMCIA connectors? That would make it a 360 degrees adapter ;-).

It's not easy, but certainly doable. There is at least one A1200 tower project on the web where this process is described.
