I am trying to avoid having to hook up a CDROM drive to my Amiga 1200 so I am wondering if a regular PCMCIA memory card will work with no issues. Do I just simply plug it in and wala: it works. Do I need to have it inserted before I turn my Amiga on? Do I need a driver? Thanks.
Ive used a few PCMCIA Memory cards for storage without any problems, just plug and play

Tho I do not know wich cards you are planning to use.
You could use the PCMCIA Compact Flash adapter at AmigaKit as storage if you want, there is a few good working PCMCIA SD card readers also
