PCMCIA - USB

[MozzerFan]

Nope. There are no drivers for that.
Besides I doubt it if these cards are suitable for the 16-bit PCMCIA slot of the Amiga.

Also if there were any drivers for it, version 3.8 of the poseidon usb stack can't be registered anymore. Version 4.0 and up are locked to E3B hardware.

Just looked on aminet and noticed the ANAIIS usb stack. Maybe the author could be persuaded to write a driver for these cards. However this usb stack doesn't support mass storage devices yet. It looks promising though.

@Gilloo

Persuaded with what?

Seriously,
If 16-bit pcmcia usb-cards really do exist and are for sale, and you are willing to write such a driver, maybe a small bounty could be set up. If there are enough users out there, who are interested (and there are still a lot of a600/a1200 users out there), it must be possible.

I am the lucky owner of a subway and deneb card myself, so for me it doesn't matter, but I'm sure there are still enough users who don't have a subway.

They could always buy one

Vesalia sold them for 89€, but are out of stock now.
Couldn't check out amigakit.com (website didn't respond).
I just saw a 32-bit pcmcia usb card for 16€.
Makes me wonder what a 16-bit pcmcia usb card would cost (if they exist). Me thinks it would be a lot cheaper than the subway.

[MozzerFan]

I know why the subway is so expensive. I was just pointing out that if amiga users had a choice between paying 88€ or 20€ the choice would be easy.

[MozzerFan]

But they dont make €20 16-bit PCMCIA USB cards. I am 90% sure they dont make them at all.

How much they would cost I can only guess, but like I said before, if they were really made,I think it will be a lot cheaper than the subway. *Edit: Such a card would be pretty much useless for todays Laptop market and if some shop still sells them, it would surprise me if the price would be in the same league as the subway.*

Anyway I doubt the existence of such a card also (see my first reply to the OP in this thread).

I want to make clear that I like my subway card very much, and I recommend it to anyone who wants an USB solution for his Amiga.
I just think a PCMCIA solution would be nice also.

[MozzerFan]

What about CF cards? They could probably be used too with an adapter.

PCMCIA-CF adapters already can be used on the amiga.
Check out Amigakit.

AFAIK there are no class drivers for USB soundcards. If you want a sound card you should buy an Amiga sound card.

Poseidon 4.0 and up has a usb audio class which is used for usb soundcards. IIRC it was mentioned somewhere that USB soundcards could only be used in combination with the Deneb. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
