There is a difference between 3c589d and 3c589D ???

Well, I'm using 3c589D with the PAO distribution and I'm happy with it.

I'm only using 2.2.1R, but I think there shouldn't be any difference.
The only problem I have is that my keyboard sometimes hangs. Maybe it has
to do with the card becaus before I used this card I never had any
keyboard hangs.

Bye,
	Udo
