Pcmcia firewire (ieee1394)
« on: November 08, 2012, 12:04:49 PM »
I have an "old" sweex pcmcia firewire card, from an old laptop.
Is it possible to make it work on the amiga 1200?
Amiga 500 + A590 + a502 memory expansion.
Amiga 1200 + harddrive + ACA1232

You sure its not cardbus? Did they really make a 16bit firewire PCMCIA?

Just a quick image search for "firewire pcmcia" on google and I don't see one image thats not cardbus.

Don't think so - pretty sure it's CardBus. :(

Well in theory you could use a PCI to cardbus bridge on a PCI equipped A1200 tower to drive a firewire cardbus card if you could be bothered to write the code and happened to be completely pants eating bonkers.
Falling into a dark and red rage.

See where it has the word "CardBus" stamped three times on top?
Back away from the EU-SSR!

Never mind, just found out it does not fit. The slot from the card is slightly different.
