A600 pcmcia sram?
« on: March 26, 2010, 12:08:16 PM »
Hello, I write because I have put a bid on a Centennial SRAM Recharge 2MB PC Card (PCMCIA)
the seller say he has used it on a A1200 then I guessed it should work on a A600 also, but I read somewhere someone saying Centennial cards do not work on a Amiga?

But if it works on a A1200 should it not work on the A600 also?

Im the leading bidder at 70$ so I hope it works else I do not know what to do with the card :/

Here is apicture of it.

What is this, the day of duplicated threads?

Kind of silly to post your maximum bid on a message board too, the seller or some nasty person could come and bump your bid up just for fun...

Don't be a fool.  Retract your bid now and buy one for $39!  See Cammys post.  I'm afraid you will end up paying $70 for it.  It always happens that way on bidding.  Thats why I snipe!  ;)

Sorry, I couldent find the post after I had ressurected the old thread, so thought it got deleted for gravedigging?

So I dident  mean to start a new thread :(

Im mostly on this forum on my Nokia N97 at work so the page is not presented the same way as on my linux  machine at home. So sorry if anyone took this the wrong way, dident mean to doublepost.

Edit: also here I did post a picture of the card, also my max bid is what im prepared to pay, so if it gets bumped up im fine with that :) I got quite excited when I saw it because I dident know anyplace else to get one that works on the amiga.

also I wanted to find a 4MB card but couldent find any :( So now I am goign to buy the a603 from amigakit also :)

$70+ is very steeeeep for a mere 2 Megs, especially if you question compatibility.

Well as it worked on the a1200 I thought it would work on the 600 before I saw the old thread about it.
also I realy wanted it now so I got excited when I saw one, so i put a steep bid on it to be sure I get it :) I love Amiga so its worth the money for me :)

And now im back, I won the card and it works great on my Amiga 600 :)

Ive tried alot alot of WHDLoad games now and I have not found many that do not work :)

As my A603 has not arrived yet I only have 1MB chip 2MB Fast but still most games run :D

I have installed Classic WB GAAE on the amiga and it works great!

Currently im copying 365 WHDL games to a 2GB partition trough winUAE (since my A600 has a 4GB CF card as harddrive it's easy as pie to just put the CF card into a windows machine and load it in winUAE to do such tasks :D)

I have taken a few pictures to show how it looks :)

Here I am copying alot of games tot he harddrive trough winUAE with my amiga CF card as mounted harddrive.


Here is how GAAE looked when done installing :) (still waiting for my scart to VGA converter so still using a CRT TV).


Here is the SRAM card in the Amiga :)


Here is the bare inside with a CF ide adapter.


I will post more pictures when I get the last parts like the A603 and a kickswitch and pictures of my sucess with the Scart to VGA converter :)

Glad it's working for you. There's really no need for a Kickstart switcher in an A600, though. Just slap 3.1 in there and you're all set.

Thanks!, I get a few errors on games with more then 5 disks but mostly they work after a few attempts and when I try to boot them outside WB :)

Tho I can not get Monkey Island 2 to run :(
