I don't believe you. There's no reason why not reading the EEPROM would break it. Especially since it doesn't break my sample card. Whatever your problem is, I'm not even going to try to fix it without access to the hardware, so I guess you just lose. > >It must not be that important to you since you never bothered to mention > >this to anyone before. > > > >Given all the various things it's complaining about when it fails, > >it looks like the driver is no longer able to communicate with the device > >over the PCI bus.

Why can't people just give me all the information up front instead of making me drag it out of them. Is it so hard? Do I fix the bugs by checking in one line of code at a time? No. So why do people only describe their problems one line at a time? -Bill
