PCMCIA to USB adaptor!!
« on: March 24, 2004, 11:17:21 AM »
I found out that there are adaptors for PCMCIA which give two USB ports!! :-o  Searching at Google for "PCMCIA USB adaptor" will reveal them.  They are targetted to laptop PCs, but does anyone know if they will work on an Amiga?

Drivers, a kingdom for drivers!! :)

As long as it is 16-bit, and the drivers exist, you can hook up more or less every PCMCIA card to a 600/1200...

They're all 32-bit, so they'll never work with an A1200/A600.

 It`s worse than that,the A600+1200 PCMCIA slot is only PCMCIA v1 with some v2 stuff added, as they were designed before the v2 spec was finalised  :-x

Why the sudden excitement. These adapters have been around for years. They didn't work then, and they still dont work now.

They are also non-powered either, which means you have to connect something self powered such as a printer else it wont work (as the USB port wont be supplying any power).
