Problem with PCMCIA SDHC card

Hello.
I bought a card with PCCARD and CardBus logos.
The manual says: Auto sensing PCMCIA / CardBus interface

Is there any program to check that accesses the PCMCIA A1200?
I have installed the CDF. When turning on the A1200 with the card inserted, the WB 3.1 keeps the clock as a pointer.
Removing the PCMCIA card with the power on, the WB calls reinserting the unit. Even given the label of the SD card.
If I turn on the A1200 WITHOUT PCMCIA when insert PCMCIA does nothing happens.
This card is compatible with my A1200?
Thx and sorry for my english

I'm fairly sure that the CardBus interface is not compatible with the Amiga PCMCIA port.

After buying it you will see you need some drivers, so better buy it here;

Yes, you can buy PCMCIA adapters on eBay for both CF cards and SD cards which are compatible with the Amiga. I would recommend that you avoid any listing which specifically mentions CardBus compliance.

Because the compatibility of any given CF/SD card or adapter casnnot be guaranteed, it is best to buy only items which have been reported to work correctly with an Amiga interface.

I have both a Canon PCMCIA PC CARD ATA adapter which works with CF cards and a 5-in-1 PCMCIA adapter for SM, MMC, SD, MS and MS Pro cards, type PANM5N18C, which works with SD cards in my Amigas' PCMCIA ports (though neither came from eBay).

Auto-sensing would imply that the card works in both 16-bit PCMCIA and 32-bit Cardbus slots. That doesn't imply it will definitely work in an A1200 though.

Obviously you would need confirmation in order to be certain, but I reckon you would be very unlucky if that adapter didn't work in the A1200 PCMCIA slot.

Hello.
I made a mistake.
I went back to install the WB using WB 3.1 of Bloodwych.
Now the board is functioning properly.
The SDHC memory work! Tested with 4GB SDHC.
