A600 PCMCIA Problem!
« on: October 12, 2005, 10:59:57 AM »
Hi guys,
I wanted to post a question regarding a problem I have in my PCMCIA device.
I owe a 3COM PCMCIA Ethernet adapter which works perfectly with my A600. My problem is this:
- When I have the Card in the bay and I start the A600 from the power supply button for the first time, all I see is Black screen. I remove slightly the Card from the bay and the miggy starts perfectly. Then I quickly insert the Card in the bay again and it all plays just fine
- If I reset my miggy with Ctrl-A-A then everythings alright
- If I stop the miggy with the button on power supply and I start it again... The same problem lies!

Some friends told me to use a fix on aminet (card reset) but the problem is that I can't run it on the startup-sequence since the miggy won't start without removing the Card rom the bay.
The only solution that I found while searching was a Hardware hack with a capacitor in the Gayle chip.
I was wondering if someone had the same problem and what he did to solve it!

P.S. My A600 mobo revision is 2D

Thanks in advance,
