Why no PCMCIA USB support for A600/A1200?

[mingle]

Hi,

It just struck me as strange (and slightly annoying!) that there's no apparent support for those oh-so-common PCMCIA USB adaptors on the Amiga 600 & 1200...

Is it that they are mostly (all?) CardBus devices?

Would it be worth asking (very nicely, of course) the wonderful Neil Cafferkey (author of the pccardserial, prism2 and 3C589 deives drivers) to look into it? What about a bounty? I'd certainly shell out for it!

... or am I dreaming, once again?

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Alex,

I suspected as much, but thanks for the informative answer anyway...

I can imagine how much the USB would sap the puny 020 of my A1200 anyway!

Besides, PCMICA + CF cards are a handy alternative to USB sticks...

Cheers,

Mike.
