English Amiga Board - View Single Post

Ok. tried card.resourcev1 and card.resourcev2. After LoadModule restarts, the amiga just power cycles over and over with the power light blinking, no matter if I have a PCMCIA card in or not.

I am testing on kickstart 3.0, if that matters.

I have an 8mb memory board in the amiga that configures itself as 2 boards. It works fine without PCMCIA card. When I insert a PCMCIA network card (since I have kickstart 3.0), the amiga complains about "Board error" and I only get 4mb fast in workbench. Network card works fine.

As I understand it. If I have kickstart 3.1, the PCMCIA slot or memory card is disabled totally. This "disable half the memory" is a kickstart 3.0 only thing.

However, would be nice to be able to utilize the full 8mb memory with the PCMCIA network card. TCP stack takes up enough memory as it is =)
