MorphOS PowerUP and PCMCIA network adapters

[Piru]

carddisk.resource is PPC native, and there's a PPC native cnet.device included.

68k drivers should work fine, aswell.

[Piru]

The driver included should support the cards listed in the compatibility file inside my old(er) m68k version of cnet.device.

I just had a look with "Scout": Card.resource is NOT listed under the category "resources".

While you're playing with Scout, check Residents list. Is card.resource listed there? (it should be)

The only condition shutting down the card.resource is memory appearing overlapping the PCMCIA port.

[Piru]

Well, I can think of only two possible reasons why card.resource would not be added to the system.

a) Memory overlapping the PCMCIA area exist in the system.
b) PCMCIA interface wasn't available at the time MorphOS 'startup' was launched (say maybe different ROM version being softkicked at that time).

I wrote a tiny program that dumps various info about the state of the PCMCIA support:
pcmciacheck.bin
It's an amiga executable, and it can be run under both AmigaOS and MorphOS. I'd be interested to see the output from it, both under AOS and MOS.

[Piru]

Hmm, most interesting. Could you try running the cmd instead of the morphos 'startup' (that is: not booting into full AOS 3.9, I'd like to see what the startup will see...) ?

[Piru]

Uhh. I don't get it, the card.resource is available and appears to work. It should be available under MorphOS then, too, but for some reason it's not. I'm afraid I'm out of ideas now.
