Is this NIC A1200 compatible ?
« on: October 15, 2005, 11:54:20 AM »
Hello, I (badly!) want to buy one of those :

EDIMAX 10/100 Mbps

But wouldlike to know if it's fully compatible with my Amiga 1200 PCMCIA port, and the related.device for that matter.

I remember seiing, not so long ago, maybe a week or two, a compatibility matrix page, focused on Linux m68k, but listing AmigaOS compatibility as well... A rough page, black on white with a mean table... Can't find it anywhere ! Not in my history (must be named weirdly) not in my head (it's a real mess, never go in there) Help ?

What I'd really like to hear, tho, is that somebody here is using this NIC (EDIMAX 10/100 Mbps) or maybe this one :
A CONNECTLAND 10/100 Mbps ?

Thank you very much !

I'm confused, I though that "Cardbus" was just the popular name of the PCMCIA slots..? Are you really sure that when it says "cardbus" (a LOT (if not all!) of PCMCIA offers on ebay do) It's NOT A1200 Compatible ?

Oh, and nobody heard of this PCMCIA NIC A1200/Linux m68k compatibility matrix page ?

Mm... This "cardbus" bit really confuses me. I'm gonna stick to the compatibility page, as it seems really up-to-date.
(By the way, it's ethernet I'm interested in, not WiFI, and I seem to have confused the two in the start of this thread) Unfortunately, they listed THE board that all resellers here in Paris stock for 30€ (that's roughly 20£) as *untested*... Sigh. So I'm asking the same lame question : Has anybody happily used a BELKIN 10/100 in their A1200/A600 ?

thank you very much, and please excuse the noise..
