A similar project for PCMCIA[1] is being developed by yyzkevin. Really exciting IMO, not yet available, but I submitted a response to their google sheet, hoping to get one of these when the preorders start.

It’s interesting to note that the WiFi on the PicoMEM is based on code from yyzkevin originally from his PCMCIA project. And the PicoMEM uses PSRAM code from my PicoGUS project. And then PicoGUS uses Sound Blaster code from yyzkevin. And now I’m getting inspiration from how PicoMEM does address decoding. And so on and so on… This is a pretty cool little open source community we’ve created around the RP2040, cross-pollinating each others’ projects.
wonder if it will work in the 99% standard Amiga 600 and Amiga 1200 PCMCIA slots. :)
I tested on Amiga 1200 without any issues.
I've also started working on a modern PCMCIA card, so this is pretty exciting to me. Do you have a GitHub or IRC I can follow?
I am active on discord. I think we talked about this previously, lorwan related, a while ago.
Ah yes, so we did in 2022! Glad to see you're still hacking on this.
