Is there any PCMCIA - USB driver around for OS3.0?

AFAIK there are no PCMCIA USB host cards compatible with the Amiga. They are all Cardbus (32-bit PCMCIA).

If you want USB on A1200 you need to buy a Subway card from E3B (about £80) which connects to the internal clock port.

There are at least 2 PCMCIA 16bits cards.

What are they?

AFAIK there is only one 16-bit USB host chip (the OXCFU950 designed here at my company) and it is not used in any PCMCIA->USB cards the public can buy.

I sent some samples and the linux driver code to Michael Boehmer and Chris Hodges a long time ago.

I'm sure there are still enough users who don't have a subway.

They could always buy one ;-)

My company makes the chips at the heart of the Subway and the only 16-bit PCMCIA USB host chip. There is only a small difference in price.

The big cost of the Subway is that they are manufactured and tested in low volumes just for the Amiga market. You cannot compare prices with mass produced CardBus USB cards.

Amigakit seem to have a DNS problem. Their secondary URL seems to be working fine

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

That card has a CFU950 in it designed by us.

So can a clockport USB adapter like the Subway or a thoertical 16 bit PCMCIA use the USB soundcards out there?

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