Is it possible to use a Toshiba PCMCIA modem with a 1200? If so how do I get any software that I need?

Kevin – I have only one answer and you won't like it……I just don't know! I think it ought to work, and that you could use any Amiga terminal software with it. If I had the modem, I would just try it. PCMCIA is supposed to be a standard! —Betty

Betty, I tried putting a Megahertz 14.4 PCMCIA modem in my A1200 and, although the Prepcard program saw the card as a Megahertz modem, it couldn't do anything with it. A 3rd party driver is definately needed for any PCMCIA card other than memory cards. Now on the Internet with Compuserve and PPP Rick Green Via AP1.80

Thanks, Rick. I don't have a 1200, so I couldn't try this out. —Betty

Don't feel too badly. I just tried to run Compuserve Info Manager for Windows on my 486 laptop with a PCMCIA modem. The install routine found the modem and identififed it correctly, but the software refuses to dial out. — from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, via Amiga AUTOPILOT v1.78 [the only way to fly the cyberscape]

There is a software company that developed a PCMCIA modem driver for 99% of modems. Cannot remember the name though 🙁 You will definately need a driver though, if I had one and the spec sheet for it I would have a go (also my a1200 is being fixed). Phill

Thanks for the input but does anyone know where I can get a driver ! I can get the amiga to see the card but it just doesn`t want to know unless its ram.

there is a pcmcia modem driver available in amigatech ,but it may not wotrk with your modem card.

I cannot find the PCMCIA modem driver you spoke of in the AmigaTech forum. Do you happen to know the filename? Now on the Internet with Compuserve and PPP Rick Green Via AP1.80

well it was from 1993 though it still may not work on your modem as it was for some brand like aztech or amstrad or something

Still, I might get an idea from on on how to code a new one (assuming it has the source code, of course). Now on the Internet with Compuserve and PPP Rick Green Via AP1.80
