PCMCIA devices in A600
« on: October 31, 2005, 11:49:50 AM »
Hallo,

In my quest to expand my A500 with a joystick and mouse ;-), i got an A600 (will arrive in a week or so...) with a broken floppy.

I hope somebody can answer this:

Which kind of PCMCIA devices can be plugged in an A600 ?

Harddisks, flash disks, RAM cards (where the *รง&% find I those).... ??? (I know about the etherlink III). Do they need drivers to work ?

Is the A500 floppy compatible with the A600 ??

Thanks !

Thats sounds cool !

And can you boot from the 128MB card ? (I will not have more than a 68000 for a while...), do you use a driver to access the flash in the PCMCIA ?

thanks !

So,

sorry for being repetitive... but can you boot from a Flash or harddisk attached to the PCMCIA ?

thanks !

I would love to get one of those apollos... I hope they show up in ebay soon. sadly I lost the MTec 020 for A500... but >50 Euro.. is a bit too much :-(

That people (animart) list an Apollo 030, but as I hardly understand any polish ! (I was told that with german and russian you can read polish.... russian am learning now, german I think I can read it ;-) )... difficult to know what is all that about :-(, I'll see if I can make it boot.
