I got the 520 meg version to transfer files to my old Compaq P120 laptop, and it works fine in a PC but there's no way it's gunna fit in my A1200 desktop.

You'll need some sort of extension for the PCMCIA slot.

And NO you do NOT need an extension to fit it in the Amiga.......just a normal Compact Flash to PCMCIA adaptor that fits Microdrive as well.


Can you supply a link to the correct CF to PCMCIA card?

I've got one, but there's no way the microdrive will fit in it.

Mine is a type III card, similar in size and shape to a squirrel scsi card, but the connector is only 1 centimetre long (see here).
