Default A600 and 3c589 NIC
My A600 freezes upon starting AmiTCP when the 3COM 3c589 NIC is in the PCMCIA port. Started SnoopDOS and turned out to be hanging on the pccard.library. Tried a different 3c589: same problem. Tried the 3c589 in an A1200: works fine.
The A600 works OK with a wireless Orinoco NIC. Someone got an A600 going with a 3Com?

What Kickstart and Workbench versions have you got in the A600 and A1200? Also, what versions are the libraries you are using?

A1200: KS 40.68 WB 40.42 (both 3.1)
A600: KS 40.63 WB 40.42 (both 3.1)
I suppose all lib versions are the same. Installed all from the same floppies.

Edit: The A1200 has a Blizzard 1230 IV with 8MB RAM.

Try the card_info program and see if it bombs out when running that.

Card_info works OK. Output:

Appears to be a Network card
CCR Offset address (24 bit) = $01000, Config ID = $01
Interface Type 1, uses:
Getting I/O memory now - remove card if system freezes!
