Hello There. The Reason ( CardBus ) Cards are sold as PCMCIA is that; ( CardBus ) is the Newer PCMCIA Standard.

Here is a BreakeDown.

Type I and Type II PCMCIA Cards are 16-Bit Cards.

The Amiga 600's and Amiga 1200's have a type II PCMCIA Slot.

A type II Slot is Compatible with Type I and Type II Cards.

( CardBus ) Or Type III PCMCIA Card's are 32-Bit PCMCIA Cards.

If you were to get a Type II to Type III Adapter then you

would be able to use Type III ( CardBus ) cards in either

an Amiga-600 or An Amiga-1200.

Hope this helps you out.
