PCMCIA driver: CFD 1.33 (Update)
CFD ("CompactFlashDevice") supports using CompactFlash memory cards on the PCMCIA-Port of an A600 or A1200. Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski has released an update of the driver which improves compatibility with SD-cards (inserted via SD-CF-adapter). The updated driver also could provide support of a higher number of CF memory cards.

New PCMCIA angle connector: KA37 (Update)
Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski offers another angle connector for the PCMCIA port of the A1200 or A600 called "KA37" which is mostly required if the Amiga was put into a tower. The "KA37" is available for about 21 Euro and thus cheaper than similar products of Amigakit or Elbox. However, Krashan only accepts Bitcoin (0.0249 Bitcoin). You can order the connector via email from the developer.

Update: (09:25, 30.01.2017, snx)
Grzegorz Kraszewski mentions in a comment that PayPal and SEPA transfers are also accepted, although they are not advertised on the webpage. (cg) (Translation: dr)
