It's fine. PCMCIA cards were designed to be Hot swap-able. There is a bug in the AMIGA 1200 hardware (the A600 too) that prevents the card from being recognized again if you plug it back in. Something to do with the Reset Signal not being triggered when you remove the card. Just simply turn the 1200 off then back on again and re-insert the PCMCIA card.

Ok thanks for info shame about the bug that will make transfering files slower waiting for A1200 to reboot. Is there no fix ?

I can take my CF adapter out and in without rebooting. I have cardpatch and cardreset running in startup. _________________

I also plug and unplug repeatedly without rebooting, and I don't have any fixes applied. What doesn't work is removing the card from the adaptor while it's still plugged in, but if you remove the adaptor, do what you need to and then plug it in again, it always works fine for me.
My understanding of the bug is that the card itself isn't reset properly when the Amiga boots, meaning if it's plugged in when you power up it won't be recognised. Plugging it in after the computer is turned on works fine, or there are hardware or software fixes available that can solve the issue too. _________________

Yes, the first reply to the thread is wrong. The reset bug affects only if the card is already plugged in when the machine is turned on. A work-around (without any fixes) for the bug is to hot-swap the card when the machine is already on. So, hot-swapping should work just fine otherwise too. Fixes (software or hardware) are only needed if the card isn't recognized in the cold boot and you don't want to hot-swap it every time.
