The basic rule of thumb is that anything with its own processor won't conflict.

There are no known conflicts with the PCMCIA port at all in using this card in the A1200.

If you are not installing into a tower'ised setup, please ensure your power supply is not one of the lightweight ones - use one of the older heavier A500 types for system stability.

Ignore the physical weight of the supply - it is irrelevant. The one I use delivers 4.5A of 5V and was made in India, it is a "light" supply. Besides, what has this to do with the question?

Perhaps it's a preemptive answer in foresight with valid intention to initiate predisposed curiosity from deviation.

No, it's at the other end of the motherboard.

I had a problem with the Overdrive 35 PCMCIA hard disk (auto-boot version), where the hard disk wouldn't be seen if the Blizz was active - it would work if I held down '2' during boot.

Never found out a reason why. This was on a revision 2B Motherboard.

Hmm the '2' disables the blizzard card, so sounds like a conflict......

I switched to the Blizzard cus the Apollo 60 I had did conflict with the PCMCIA slot. The Squirrel only worked with the Blizzard. You can always get the SCSI KIT for the Blizzard for external drives, which is what I do. You can then use the PCMCIA for network and broadband... which is also what I do.

On that power issue, always try and get an A500 brick when you start to load up the 1200. I learnt this the painful way when I tried to use a 3.5" hd in a 1200. I sent it back to the shop, then found I could have resolved matters with more power. All my 1200s have the brick as opposed to the original power supply.

There is a picture of one of my bricks on my website:
