I got something like this:

If you get this range of written and read bits, it means that the
contacts of either the slots or the card are ok. But you see the
difference between the written and read bits above.
If you don�t get these two ranges of written and read bits and
nevertheless the memory-test fails, you have to clean either the slots
or the contacts of the card with pure alcohol (there can be remnants
of adhesive tape at the contacts of the card from factoring).
Normaly you should get:

Ethernet address = 52:54:40:26:79:ca
Chip is in PnP mode
Chip is using half-duplex mode
Chip is using IOBase 0x300 and IRQ 3
IRQ / Loopback / cable connection test in progress:
IRQ received ok.
Packet send......via TP!

And only in case that the ethernet address is found, Miami will find
the card too.

I tried it x times with different slots and a modified MACH sent by
Jens Sch�nfeld and the problems didn�t disappear.

Please, report your problems with the card to Jens Sch�nfeld because
we thought my G-Force card causes the timing-problems, but it looks
like there are other systems which have those timing-problems too.
I cannot test the early boot-menu issue right now, because I don�t
have the card here at the moment; I�m waiting to get it back from Jens.
I was thinking of getting another ethernetcard for the Amiga, but
after I couldn�t get an Ariadne I can�t think of a card these days
that is still availalbe for the Amiga....
