pcmcia reset chip

[murple]

Does this really need a chip? I installed 2 programs from Aminet (CardReset and CardPatch) that I needed to work around the reset issue to install a PCMCIA ethernet card... I've heard of these chips but never actually seen one. You might check the BBoAH, I think it mentions these and says that basically you pull a chip from the motherboard, put the board in, and put the chip back on the board's socket.

I could be completely wrong since I didnt read it carefully, but, BBoAH is always a great place to start with any new piece of Amiga hardware.

I have a 3Com (3c589) PCMCIA ethernet card. The 3c589 driver for Amiga specifically mentions needing both CardPatch and CardReset in your S:user-startup for it to work. I did what it said and everything works fine.

I suppose it depends what card you're using in there... my PCMCIA Compact Flash reader for example worked perfectly without any changes to the PCMCIA system.
