Little joy with this card it seems

I can eject/reinsert the card all I like, it doesn't want to be picked up. Doing this also causes the hd to 're-initialise', resulting in a lock next time I try to access it.

cardpatch runs but doesn't help. cardreset fails unless I use the force switch, and then it doesn't help.

The utility in the cnet.device package can't even find a card, I've put the cnet.device in devs anyway in case it might help.
The card isn't compatible. There's nothing you can do about this - Commodore implemented the PCMCIA-II slot before the standard was finalised, making it incompatible with 70% of all PCMCIA network cards and hit-and-miss with everything else. I have four PCMCIA network cards, and two work with the Amiga (though one hasn't got the card-to-RJ45 cable, so I can't use it); I've also got three PCMCIA RAM cards and only one works with the Amiga.

The Kingston card currently being discussed in another thread (KNE-2T, or something) *does* work with the Amiga - I've got one here.
