Anybody know whether this will work in an A1200?

I have the same question/Issue
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37936
I had bought one, but it seems to be a PC-cardbus edition o.s.l.t.
From the picture it is hard to see what kind of connector it has. You could send an e-mail to the seller and ask for dimensions. ( If the right side from the connector is smaller than 1.5 mm it should fit!)
Mine is 2mm and does only fit in  PC, not the Miggy!

good luck with finding one.
One the Amiga meeting I was informed that a suiteable pcmcia FC reader is for sale in any photoshop.
Ask specificly for a CF reader (type one?) and measeure the right side of the connector!(the little black block next to the raster-connector part)
It is hard to discribe

The card must also be 16 bit. I used to have one but can no longer find it. I might just buy an EasyADF from AmigaKit. It's more expensive than finding a generic card reader, but at least I know it will work.

I even had an offer from Danmark.
He has got one that fits on the Miggy.
(See the link of my other pcmcia thread)

First I have to get out my house and find a shop which sells CF-reader (like the photo shop or kijkshop or mediamarkt)

Maybe, I might be lucky!
And soon there will be enough (computer)fairs where they might sell one for one euro????

wish me luck!

Good luck! :-) I'm impatient and want one ready for when my new A1200 arrives, so I think I'll just buy an EasyADF from AmigaKit.
