ACA1231/42 Accelerator card and possible PCMCIA problem
« on: May 05, 2012, 06:34:42 PM »
Hi All
I was wondering if any users on here have had any problems with the ACA1231/42 accelerator card and the PCMCIA port on an A1200?  
I used to have a Turbo 1230LC card which with the 4MB ram worked okay with my Archos Overdrive CDROM, however whenever I placed the jumper to 8MB on my old card this knocked out the CDROM and i was aware that this was a problem with the accelerator itself. I changed the accelerator card recently to a brand new 64MB ACA1231/42 which i was assured was PCMCIA compatible, however I am still experiencing the same problem and of course on this new accelerator card I am unable to downgrade the memory as it is built in.
Is it likely to be the Archos Overdrive CDRom which is the problem, it has always been rather shaky in operation since i have had it?  Also as a replacement would you recommend the use of a IDE CD-Rom  as a way of solving the problem just in case the new accelerator card is causing a problem with the PCMCIA port??
