Hi All-
I was wandering through a Staples (office supply store in USA) and saw a wall of blister-packed pcmcia cards for laptops. The new one (to me) was a USB port mounted on the pcmcia card for about $50. Of course, no Amiga drivers. Eeeek! First wireless net cards and now USB cards, both highly desirable expansions of my A1200, and both out of reach for want of a driver. Is anyone working on this problem? Is it just way more difficult than a naive non-programmer like me can understand? Or is the "classic" Amiga so dead that nobody wants to decorate the corpse with new grave goods? I would be willing to buy drivers that let me use such cheap and powerful extensions. Right, - me and maybe 13 other fools who blindly refuse to be assimilated by the Bor-.. er... the M$ empire.
Oh well.

I have asked this question, but The A1200 PCMCIA is 16bit and the modern PC is 32bit (called Cardbus). the A1200 can not use these cards :-(
