A600 PCMCIA Problem!

[mfilos]

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,

All the PCMCIA patches and hardware hacks available are for fixing a different hardware bug that only affects the A1200. AFAIR the behaviour you describe has been seen on certain A1200s with certain cards (there was a thread either here or on amigaworld.net about this). Maybe it would be fixed by one of the existing hardware hacks, but it might be risky because it's not exactly the same problem, and the A600 is thought to have no PCMCIA bugs. You might not have this problem if you use a different card.
