ROM Applications
ROM Applications
Games or other applications may be available on PCMCIA ROM
cards. To be usable on the A1200, the application must be written
specifically for the Amiga. A PCMCIA ROM application may "take
over" the Amiga, preventing multitasking (running the Workbench,
or other applications). See the ROM card's documentation for more
information.
Other Devices
Accessories, such as modems or network adapters having a
PCMCIA connector, can also be attached with the card slot.
Directions on use of these items will be included with the device.
Notes
on
Insertion and Removal
• Only one memory card or accessory may be inserted at a time.
• Removing a ROM application card or a memory card that is
currently in use as RAM immediately reboots the Amiga.
•
Do not write-protect a memory card while it is in use as RAM-
this causes the Amiga to lock up, requiring you to reboot.
• Do not remove a card disk immediately after attempting an
open or save operation on it.
• Removing an accessory such as a modem or network adapter
while it is operating immediately breaks its communication
connection.
• Removing an accessory, such as a SCSI adapter, that connects
to storage devices while it is operating may cause a disk error,
damaging files or directory structures on the associated storage
devices.
