Will Blizzard PPC AOS4 support the PCMCIA port?
« on: July 27, 2004, 09:48:58 PM »
New site member, returning to the Amiga after too long an absense.

I have a question that someone might be able to help me with.  

I've dug my old Amiga 1200 and Blizzard card out of the loft and it all appears to be working.  I does however have a G-Rex PCI bus board, which I understand is not going to work with AOS4.

I have the option of replacing this with a BVision, which I understand will work with AOS4.  Doing this however means I will have to use a PCMCIA netword adapter.

So will AOS4 on an A1200 + Blizzard PPC allow use of the PCMCIA socket?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

"Why shouldn't it be supported?" - having been away from the Amiga for quite a while I have no idea, but as it seems to be petty politics that's stopping the G-Rex bus board working with AOS4 I thought it was better to ask!  Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

"I guess cnet.device will still work on OS4, if not, could be adapted easily, as the source is included." - I am not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination so would be completely at the mercy of others if modifications need to be made.  This however would not seem to be too muchy of a problem as the Amiga community is as far as I remember both talented and mostly friendly.

Thanks for the information.
