But in damp/dusty environments (which I seem to end up working in...) you frequently need to give the connectors of cards (and in the this case the terminators,) a good cleaning. A pencil eraser then a clean cotton cloth works fine. You can usually see the differance pretty easily. :) Now that I think about it, you can choose to change the termination on card can't you? I had roughly the same problem with a Seagate drive that wouldn't autoterminate itself. Also, you'll want to put the files in c:\bin or c:\freebsd to load from DOS.
