util/boot/CardPatch.lha is recommended
Version:  3.0


 Description:

CardReset forces a high level on pin 58 of the Amiga PCMCIA slot
(reset signal). A PC Card must be plugged within the PCMCIA slot.
GAYLE does not assert the reset signal when the slot is empty.
CardReset also enables or disables the BVD2/speaker signal
(pin 62 of the PCMCIA slot) to Amiga right channel audio output.


 Usage:

CardReset [TICKS <n>] [FORCE] [AUDIO ON|YES|OFF|NO]

TICKS/N/K       The time of the reset operation in Amiga TICKS (1 TICKS is
                equal 20 mS). Maximum: 50 TICKS (1 sec.). If a number of TICKS
                is 0 or less the operation will not be done. Don't use TICKS 5
                or less. PC Cards require the reset time 100 or 200 mS.
                The default value is equal 15 TICKS (300 mS).

FORCE/S         If this option is not used and any other device is the owner
                of PC Card (like cnet.device), the reset operation will not be
                done and CardReset will return the error code number 10.
                If this option is used and any other device is the owner of
                PC Card the operation will be done and CardReset will return
                the error code number 5 (if the system will not be crashed).

AUDIO/T/K       Toggle switch. The correct words are ON/OFF or YES/NO.
                It connects/disconnects the speaker (DIGITAL AUDIO) pin to
                Amiga standard audio output. This function is done always,
                either any device is the owner of PC Card or not.
                Default: no change.


 Installation:

Copy CardReset to C: directory.

Add "CardPatch" line to Startup-Seqence. Look for util/boot/CardPatch.lha.

Add "CardReset" line to your Startup-Sequence or User-Startup.

Remove all hardware PCMCIA reset solutions. Don't use the opencnet patch
before CardReset is run (system crashes). If you use CardPatch you need not
use this (opencnet) patch.
