PCMCIA to USB converter
« on: August 04, 2003, 08:28:17 PM »
Greetings to all Amigans! Long live Amiga! Hello people I am very excited to find out that Amiga is still alive ehmmm in a way. I used to have one A500 and my beloved A1200 with my extras but sold them 4 years ago. I am sick and tired with the PC industry (I work as a senior Technical editor at a computer magazine) and all Intel-Microsoft-AMD-nVIDIA stuff which sux big time. I bought yesterday a very good Amiga 600 with good old 1084s monitor and I am really happy with it. Here in Greece I can find PCMCIA to USB converter for 50 Euros. Does anyone know If it's gonna work with my A600? I really need USB on Amiga. Thanx in Advance Amigans :-)

Thanx for your help! After some searching I found out that there are drivers for PCMCIA SCSI and modems not for USB converters...:( Actually my purpose is to connect my Compact Flash USB read to Amiga in order to transfer my pics to hard drive.....If only there was a USB implementetion...

Yes it's not upgraded. It's just 7MHz....it looks awfull near to my P4 1.8 @ 3GHz but it is Amiga :)
I have checked the web site. The USB hac is awesome but needs special revision of the hardware...

You mean that I can buy this PCMCIA to USB converter plug it, install the drivers and transfer images to Amiga 600?

Holy Amiga :)

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!
