Hi Jens,
I'm also having problems getting my ACA1211 to play nice with PCMCIA - both a CF card and a 3COM 3c589 NIC. Configuration for ACA1211 is set with 'Keep PCMCIA' option selected in acatool.
First issue I experience is that doing a cold boot with either PCMCIA card installed, will cause the A1200 to boot into 3.1.4 floppy load screen instead of booting from my IDE-drive. If I load ATK in this state, ACA1211 memory is detected.
If I do a warm boot with either PCMCIA installed, the A1200 boots into Workbench from my IDE-drive and 3.2 in mapROM. If I load ATK in this state, ACA1211 memory is detected.
Collectively for both issues is that the Exec->MemList reports 8MB memory available from 0x200000 to 0x9FFFFF, but this overlaps the PCMCIA area from 0x600000 to 0x9FFFFF. The result is Guru mediation or crashes/freeze when e.g. unpacking a LHA-file from CF card to RAM: or when using AWeb to browse aminet.net.
Is there any possible way of getting ACA1211 to only autoconfig memory from 0x200000 to 0x5FFFFF, when 'Keep PCMCIA' is selected in acatool? I would much rather have less RAM to play with when I use PCMCIA, than not being able to use PCMCIA at all.
Best regards,
Jacob
