PCMCIA Sound Card

[XDelusion]

USB sound cards are effectively free.

I don't know whether there is a standard for USB sound cards, or whether you have to buy a particular one though.
 
I was suggesting USB over forking out for PCI or developing a PCI express solution. For PCMCIA it would make sense for someone to write a driver, but I expect everyone uses PCMCIA for networking these days.

Indeed indeed, I had bought 3 of them a while back when I had an eMac with MorphOS, but sadly that arrangement did not work out.  

 Great cards for all other alt OS's though!

(But then, I'm the kind of person who thinks putting a sound card in an Amiga is pretty silly to begin with...)

Indeed. Same for graphics cards.

It's no more silly than still using an Amiga at all.
 
There were add on graphics cards and sound cards even when commodore were still alive, so we have API's for them and old software will then work with the modern hardware.
 
It's not my thing sure, but I wouldn't judge anyone for doing it.

If I had the AAA chipset, I would not want a gfx card.

As for the sound card, well when working with OctaMED S.S. you come to realize that some sorts of sounds are better off in 16-bit.

AAA was going to be a dog. It had no AA compatibility because it pre-dated AA. The design was overly complex to work around problems that wouldn't exist when it would have been able to come out.
 
I'd settle for the mythical AA+. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_AA%2B_Chipset If it hadn't been for AAA then we'd likely have had all the AA+ features.

the AMIGA is PCMCIA Type II complaint so you could get one of these sound cards or USB cards they just need drivers :hammer:

Thread necromancy!

We did sorta have a PCMCIA sound card back in the day. So, yes, I would imagine that drivers are the only thing preventing a slightly more recent 16-bit PCMCIA card from working...

Trident/Posieden doesn't support USB sound cards.
