Centennial PCMCIA SRAM in an a600?

[SuperTurbo]

Howdy peeps... I just got myself an old 4mb Centennial PCMCIA card to use in my a600 with no expansions. I want to prepare it as RAM but PrepCard tells me it´s corrupt and that I should prepare the card first.

I assume that it means I should prepare it as a disk but when I do the screen just goes black after a while. After I reboot WB finds the card as a NDOS disk, but when trying to format it it complains over some bad sectors. Probably due to being unable to prepare the card properly.

My questions: Does it take a long time to prepare an SRAM card? Is this card just broken or is it the A600?

Yeah, you´re probably right..  :-( but will it automatically use it as ram even if there are some data saved on it?

I don´t get why there are only 1mb chip expansions for the a600 availble. Isn´t there a card with both chipmem and fastmem somewhere?

Well, it says "SRAM" on the card itself and Prepcard actually detects it so I assume it should work. I also think I read a post somewhere at Amigaworld.net that the centennial SRAM card should work with the Amiga.

I suppose the only conclusion is that the card really is broken :-(  . Btw, does it need drivers when used on a PC laptop? I have an old one on which I could try it before I scrap it.
