NIC PCMCIA cards CPU load comparison/Speed etc. WIch one is better ??

[SilvrDrgn]

For what kind of PCMCIA card???  High speed serial port?  SCSI?  RAM?  What?

May be a silly question, yes, but it's still worth knowing.  Anyway, I bet the speed of any of them is going to be worse than getting a card that goes in a Zorro slot or attaches directly to an accelerator.

Heh, s'all right.  You're pretty limited on the choices for PCMCIA NIC's on the A1200.  Before I sold my A1200T, I had an ApNet card in it.  It was a 10 Mbit/sec card.  I don't think there are any 100 Mbit/sec cards that will work in the A1200, but I could be mistaken.  Anyway, performance of it was reasonable, but not great.  I believe the PCMCIA port is tied directly to the CPU somehow with no DMA.  Thus, it's a CPU hog.  No matter what card you put in there will be.
