PCMCIA Installation on an A600HD

[the-topdog]

I purchased a wireless PCMCIA network card with all the drivers and utilities on CD.  I have an old PCMCIA CD drive but don't know what I have to do to get my A600HD to recognize it so I can copy the needed files over to the harddrive.

Does anyone have instructions on how to go about this task?

Is this cd drive/pcmcia interface in question an actual Amiga specific product?  If it is then as soon as you plug in the pcmcia card, you may get a disk icon that appears and you may be able to just open it up and click on the driver inside.  If so, then after that you'll need to download a cdrom file system such as amicdfs from aminet:

If it's not an amiga specific product, then I'm quite sure that you'll never get it to work on your amiga.

Personally I use a squirrel scsi interface with an external scsi cd-rom.  That plugs into the pcmcia card slot....you don't have one of those do you?

Maybe you have the Zappo cdrom drive?  In which case it appears you can download the drivers in dms format here: (called "zappoinstall", and "zappoinstall2")

Hope that helped.

I'm afraid you're going to have to use the CD in another computer and copy the files to a 720kb DOS formatted floppy disk, and install the PC0 DOSDriver in your Devs/DOSDrivers/ drawer so you can read PC disks. The PC0 driver should be in Workbench:Storage/DOSDrivers/ unless you have it installed already.
