Wireless Ethernet in a Power Tower (Amiga 1200)?
« on: December 28, 2004, 05:09:24 AM »
Hi,

Got:

Power Tower with Amiga 1200 Motherboard
BlizzardPPC (040 25mhz, PPC 200MHZ) with 32megs
BVision

I was going to get a PCMCIA wireless ethernet adaptor but when I got this thing I noticed the PCMICA slot is against the bottom of the case and there is no room.  Since wireless ethernet (and MAYBE upgraded sound) is all i need i cant justify buying a PCI bus.  what are my options?  is there an extender for the pcmcia port? I'm NOT cutting awhole in the case and leaving this thing on it's side.

also is there a list somewhere of drivers available for existing wireless cards?  i'd prefer to get a used $10 PCMCIA card on ebay and just download drivers if i can.
Thanks,

Neofree

$44?? Geez...  Certainly these items are available elsewhere in the industry.. I can't imagine this is the only need for such a product.  I can get sophisticated SCSI adaptors/terminators for $12, this is just a simple passthrough adaptor.

I think I may sell the BVision and get a mediator.. seems cheaper really

Well I ordered the PCMCIA 90 degree adaptor from Revanche LLC on December 29th, still hasn't shipped yet... Nor have they charged my card...  Anyone have experience with this company?
