Hi. I'm interested. Will the card work with a trapdoor Elbox 1200 4mb fast ram expansion? How much are you asking? Please post a picture of the card.

Don't have to mention that in case of A600 adding PCMCIA FAST RAM will result in 30% speed boost. Last edited by mikele; 23 January 2012 at 21:18. |

Just for the record: you can achieve this speed boost only with internal real fast ram expansion. No matter how fast your PCMCIA RAM card, PCMCIA interface is the limit.

A600 PCMCIA SRAM = faster than chip ram because it is only available to CPU, Agnus DMA accesses won't slow it down. SRAM raw access speed itself may not be any faster than chip RAM but it isn't the important part.
A1200 PCMCIA SRAM = slow because AGA Chip RAM and 68020 CPU has 32-bit data bus but PCMCIA bus is only 16-bit. |
