Does that mean that usb transfer would be too slow I don´t ask this with the intention of hooking up a 52x cdrewriter, anything slower will also be nice. Is it the USB 2.0 that is too fast or is it the card itself Would a USB 1.1 card be better

Cardbus is interfaced differently than PCMCIA, so it just won't work even if you did have the drivers.

Also, the A1200's PCMCIA port won't feed a 52x CD-RW at max speed. USB 1.1 won't cut it either - it's more like 4x maximum.

Okay, I get it. Cardbus seems to be the troublemaker

Dont buy this card! It's cardbus type, so it dont works in Amiga PCMCIA port. Only 16 Bits PCMCIA type II works in Amiga. And yes you need the Amiga Driver too.

That's one of my pet peeves. WHY do people sell Cardbus cards as PCMCIA cards on online auctions.

Grr.
