Bad PCMCIA port?

Just a wild guess ,
but doesn`t the 1200 slot only support type I & II Cards?
Perhaps the EtherLink III is a type III?

PCMCIA Types have to do with the size of the card. Type I is the original PCMCIA specification and is 3.5mm thick if I recall. Type II is the common variety like the Etherlink III is and is 5.5mm thick. Type III cards are 10.5mm and therefore take two card slots in the host computer. Some Xircom cards used this type of card size to include a integrated Ethernet port and avoid a dongle.

The A1200 cannot use Type III cards, obviously, as it only has the one slot. As the 3COM EtherLink III PCMCIA is a Type II and 16 Bit it should work. Perhaps it is the A1200? Has any other PCMCIA cards been tried?
