I'm guessing that it's just not allowing the card enough time to reply; is there a way to increase the delay from the configuration interface? So close, yet so far... (trying to backport the patch to 2.1.5 was a futile exercise :-)) Thanks, -- Jason Garman http://www.nesc.k12.ar.us/~garman/ Student, Eleanor Roosevelt High School garman@phs.k12.ar.us
