Can I buy any given PCMCIA Ethernet card for my A1200?

[GPT]

When I bought my PCMCIA card, I didn't look to see witch card that work but I was lucky to get on that worked.

And it was not on the list.

Repotec PCMCIA card.

I have a 060/50 on my BlizzardPPC and the topp speed of my connection was 413.4 kB/s and that was with a 10mbit connection that is soon to be upgraded to 100mbit connection for free!!  :-) .

[GPT]

Yup, I got it to work.

But I can't help you, sorry.

I just followed the instructions on the webbpage as far as possible.

The only problem I have is that I can't share drives or drawers from the amiga.


I use a saparatly prefs save file for the samba changes just because nobody remote should be able to hack in and use samba for there own intensions.

I have no proble with using Miami.
And on the plus side, the install instructions on the samba webbpage is for miami ;-) .

[GPT]

What version of samba are you trying to use?
Because newer versions of samba is diffrent both in use and prefs system.

I use Samba 2.0.7 only because thats the one the webbpage is refering to.

So I think you should do the same and if you get that to work THEN move on to newer version.


Hope tyhis helps!

ncafferkey was that on a PCMCIA card?

I've got a 060/50 and the best I've got from my connection was 483.6 kB/s and that was when I was connected to a LAN.

The limit for PCMCIA card for A1200 is around 5mb(500-600kB/s raw speed), A1200 only has a 16bits cardbuss and thats the hold back.

[GPT]

I bought mine for around 12 Euro (120 Kronor).

Don't buy typ2 there no reason for you to by that because A1200/A600 can only use type 1 and don't buy faster than 10mb/s your cardbuss won't give more than 500-600 kB/s in the best case.

[GPT]

Sorry my fault. (about card types)

@ncafferkey The A1200 only has a 16-bits cardbuss and modern pc's has atleast 32-bits cardbuss access.


That's the difference.
