Title: PrepCard tool question...
Post by: elinscheid on August 20, 2006, 02:20:02 AM

Hey people,
   
   Do PCMCIA ethernet cards need to be prepared or something?

   I am trying to get my A1200 online. I have a 3Com PCMCIA card (model 3CXE589ET). The A1200 was purchased with OS3.9 installed and I found it has AmiTCP, Aweb3SE and Genesis.
   When I go into the PrepCard tool I get a prompt telling me:
"Warning!!! Card Information appears to be CORRUPT!
Recomment: Prepare card before use".
   I have options to prepare it as a Disk or System Ram. Now under the Product field it does recognise the card as a 3Com Megahertz 589E, Version 4.1 TP/BNC Lan PC Card. But all the other fields indicate that the OS has no idea what the card is.

PrepCard only should be used for RAM cards. Just configure your TCP/IP stack and you should be fine.
