I think if it says "Cardbus" on it it uses a 32-bit PCMCIA slot. The A1200 has a 16-bit PCMCIA slot so it won't work.

I don't think those FlashDisk cards will work, but you can get cheap PCMCIA Multi-Card adapters and use 2GB SD cards for storage - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23720 or PCMCIA CF adapters - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23791 which are handy for swapping files between Amigas and PCs, or you can get 2MB of SRAM which will actually slow your A1200 down a bit, but it will add 2MB Fastmem (it's not fast though) if you don't have a RAM card or accelerator - http://www.memoryx.net/bgz.html
That Etherlink III card is the same as mine, if it's the exact model you say then it's 16bit PCMCIA, not Cardbus, so it should work! Here's a photo of my A1200 browsing Amiga.org with this card - http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=3152
