I had the same issues with my 164SX alpha, using a promise card. This machine is a rackmount box that isn't particularly cramped or em noisy. The solution for me was switching to an umda33 cable wich works just fine. My gut feeling is that there is something borking in the code, but that particular machine is doing useful stuff so I can't really test it. I do have an alphastion500 and a promise laying around, if there is demand then I'll go through the hasse of verifying the card with mutiple cables. -- Sten Spans There is a crack in everything that's how the light gets in.
