Flash2Advance
From PHWiki
The Flash2Advance flash cards are virtually identical to the Flash Advance Pro, only the
linker was different. The FA Pro was flashed with the Flash Advance Linker through the printer LPT port.
The FA Pro card was renamed to Flash2Advance when a new type of linker was created, connecting and flashing through the GBA port, with no linker dock needed.
Two versions of the F2A linker came out. The first used the printer LPT port and had issues on some GBAs. The second USB linker cable was more stable.
The last true Bung card.
One of the earliest fully functional flash cards for GBA.
It was available in 64Mbit, 128Mbit and 256Mbit.
Pogoshell was made for, and was most stable on FA Pro/F2A.
Don't use Power Writer software with the original F2A, it was made for the Ultra cards and doesn't work correctly.
