A600 PCMCIA Problem.
« on: October 26, 2006, 11:59:26 PM »
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I couldn't find this topic already posted. If it is, I'm sorry for the inconvience.

I've recently brought an A600 as I used to do a lot of programming & scripting on this platform before moving over to PC.

I've recently started programming in C, so hence I thought it'd be cool to get an Amiga networked and use that too.

I brought a PCMCIA Ethernet card, and with much difficulty, managed to get some files over to it, however the screen kept doing an odd flashing thing. I ignored this as I didn't care so long as it generally worked.

However, since purchasing a 4MB PCMCIA fast ram card, I've found that it flickers between monocrome and colour whenever I move the mouse, access a disk or press on the keyboard.

Could anyone help me on this issue?

Many thanks, Tig.
System: A600 KS3.1, 1.7GB HD, 2MB RAM + 4MB PCMCIA / 10MB Ethernet, WB 3.1 + AmiTCP.

Ahh, I waited until I'd installed the trapdoor memory before posting, just incase it cured the problem.

Thanks for your response. :)

Yup, I didnt realise that you could purchase higher wattage PSU's for Amiga.

I guess the only way i could find out is to purchase one..

Thanks for your responses, I shall try and then reply!

However, the try bit will take a while considering my short quantity of funds!
