Early accelerator cards will no overcome the 8 MB addressing problem, later ones generally do.
Any accelerator card that doesn't isn't worth purchasing 
I'd have to agree with the latter, but not the "later ones" bit.
I own one of the most recent accell boards (Phase5 Blizzard 1230/IV w/ 8Mb RAM (70ns I'd say, maybe that's the PB ?)) and I have yet to see *any* PCMCIA thing working alongside. I got two examples : Both my C= (or is it C=) PCMCIA HD (A1200 Form factor, see, the bulky plastic things? I'd like to fit a BIG 3.5 innit) and a friend's Squirell's (1st simple version) *refuse* to work unless I disable the Blizzard board (alt+F2 IIRC). Then back to 020/2Megs
. It is, I must say, a real pain.
This, as I notice that *a lot* of drivers have been released for laptop PC's PCMCIA NICs, really pisses me off. :madashell: Am I missing a grate opportunity to put my A1200 online ? Is there a slight chance for my Blizzard to stop blocking my PCMCIA port ? Sometimes I'm suspecting the PSU (original 25W one) to be the culprit, as it makes sense that W/ The Blizzard attached, it cannot deliver enough for any PCMCIA usage..?
Thanks for your help anyway, and for coping w/ my english. I'd really like one of those PCMCIA NICs...
