Hey Discolata, I have an Amiga 600 and an Amiga 1200, they both can use CompactFlash cards with a driver on Aminet.....it is also possible to put USB on an Amiga 600, but you will probably not be able to do it as it is a hack...though there may be some other way.....I am also imagining that your Amiga 600 is not accelerated and only runs at 7Mhz?   well check out this website to learn on how to upgrade your Amiga 600:   http://www.amiga600.de/      I myself am trying to do the same but I have Cable Modem on my 1200 using a PCMCIA ethernet card, I also can tranfer Pictures to My A600 and A1200 using compactflash connected to a PCMCIA adaptor....you can also use Memory Stick and all those other memory cards for cameras if you get  fat95.lha and cfd.lha on  Aminet:    http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/~aminet/
CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

 Well I am not sure, but even if you could, I doubt you can use the USB thing as your 600 might not be fast enough, so don't buy until you ask other amigans first, like try asking the guy who owns that nice A600 on that web page I showed you, he may be able to give you good advice :-)

But as far as CompactFlash and Memory stick, you can do it with just the drivers.

a 20 gig will work and so will a 40 and 60 gig, as long as you have OS 3.9 or NSD patch or TD64 from aminet. I personally am having a problem with this..im not sure why.....maybe because I installed a few different ones at the same time! hehe

And don't believe some of these people in here, many many many PCMCIA cards work for the A600 and 1200 as well as IBM  MicroDrives!
I have tried them and they work nicely!

I have found out that using the apropriate drives and a Compact Flash to PCMCIA adapter i will be ready to transfer pics to A600....No more PCMCIA to USB experiment...A Compact FLash to PCMCIA adapter costs less than 10 Euros so I will give it a try.....

P.S. Do you think that my 2.5 IDE 20GB HD will work with A600...or the capacity is too huge for A600?

Thanx for your help! [/quote]
