- Salutations Massimo for on the 19 Mar 96, verilly did you scribe;
-
- MM> What about _cheap_ but extremely fast and easy to use digitizers,
- MM> network cards, high-speed serial cards, modems, programming devices
- MM> etc.etc. ???
-
- When were any of these devices cheap, reliable or available especially in
- the case of high-speed serial cards, modems and programming devices for the
- Amiga.
-
- MM> The Interface is 16bits and quite speedy, so it`s no solution the supply
- MM> a slow 8bit parallel interface instead.
-
- The Walkers parallel port is not a replacement.
-
- MM> My opinion is clear: PCMCIA is great if it would be supported somehow
- MM> better, and if people could get info material about how to built
- MM> compatible hardware on their own (if interested).
-
- Don't you think the life of the A600 and A1200 was ENOUGH of a trial for
- PCMCIA? Years and years and still it was never fully supported. Not even a
- MODEM driver exists.
