PCMCIA card presence detection?
« on: June 17, 2012, 05:29:53 PM »
I seem to remember seeing a little program on aminet some months ago now that was able to detect whether a card was inserted in the 600/1200's PCMCIA card slot (for use in scripts such as startup-sequence etc).
I should have downloaded this at the time but I left it, and now I can't find it at all.
Does anyone know what it's called or where I can download it from?

Thanks.

Not familiar, but I'd be quite interested too. For some reason the PCMCIA flash card adapter I have doesn't mount automatically, and I don't want to put the command in the startup sequence, since the adapter isn't always plugged in.

Try adding these to your Startup-Sequence if you don't have them already:

http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/CardReset
http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/CardPatch

C:CardReset TICKS 50
C:CardPatch

I have this just before all the assigns starting with: Assign >NIL: T: RAM:T
With this in the Startup-Sequence my A1200s always detect card changes, even when swapping SD/CF cards while leaving the PCMCIA adapter in.
Amiga user forever.
